| Jul 27, 2020 at 7:25 | comment | added | Kaushik | This is how I think of it: Due to its position in the electric field, it has some electric potential energy. Now, as it moves in the direction of the field, the potential energy reduces and is converted to kinetic energy. But, there are various obstructions in a resistor. So, as soon as it gains the kinetic energy it loses it due to Collison (predominantly as heat). So, overall the rate of the charges moving is the same. Feel free to correct me if wrong. | |

| May 14, 2020 at 2:02 | comment | added | Chemist | I'm trying to say, charges are indeed conserved but, they move through resistor slowly , decreasing the current (but amount of free electrons is the same). For some reason everyone's assuming that current = charge, but current = charge/ time | |
| May 13, 2020 at 18:46 | comment | added | nate | A counter question: if the current at the two ends of the device were different, where would the charge go? A resistor does not radiate electrons, and if the current were different, there would be either a buildup of charge or charge being generated out of nowhere (which both can't happen). | |
