Is the motion of a charge across junction momentum conserving ? Why or why not ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Near the junction, there is a slight accumulation of charges that create their own electric fields. These electric fields created by individual charges apply forces on nearby charges. Since, `F_("ext") ne 0`, the momentum of a charge will not remain conserved.
