Hello,
I was wondering if someone here could confirm or explain what happens in a resistor. My assumption is that when the electrons enter a resistor, they slow down, thus decreasing the strength of the electromagnetic field and causing the excess energy the field can no longer hold to be converted to heat. Correct, or completely off?
