| Oct 25, 2023 at 21:19 | comment | added | Dale | @AdityaMukherjee that really should go into a separate question. Comments are not for new questions | |
| Oct 25, 2023 at 20:05 | comment | added | Aditya Mukherjee | also...I know this is unrelated to the question, but can you please explain what are the assumptions that we make, that should be kept in mind when a current is flowing through an ideal wire of 0 resistance? And what is the speed of the electrons in an ideal wire, if I have a resistor connected to a ideal battery via a ideal wire, is the speed of electrons in the ideal wire the same as the speed of the electrons as they pass through the resistor? | |

| Oct 25, 2023 at 18:00 | comment | added | Aditya Mukherjee | suppose a capacitor is being charged with a resistor between the +ve terminal of battery and one of the capacitor plates, as some charge flows through the resistor, heat is produced, some of it is lost to the surroundings, while some of it increases the kinetic energy of the electrons(vibrational energy), so as these electrons then go and stop at the capacitor plates, where does there thermal energy go? Do the electrons still retain their vibrational(thermal) energy at the capacitor plates? | |
