Statement 1: Electric current (flow of electrons) creates heat in a resistor. Statement 2 : Heat in the resistor is created according to the law of energy conservation.
Explain Statement 1 with the help of Statement 2.

Explanation

(1) when electrons flow through a resistor (during flow of electric current) electrons possess kinetic energy.
(2) During the flopw of electrons there is a decrease in the kinetic energy of the electrons due to collisions with atoms, ions and molecules.
(3) According to the law of conservation of energy, this decrease in the kinetic energy of the electrons get converted into heat.
