An electric lamp creates light by forcing electrons through the filament of its light bulb. The kinetic energy of the moving electrons comes directly from

A) thermal kinetic energy
B) electric kinetic energy
C) electric potential energy
D) chemical potential energy

Respuesta :

The Correct Answer is C

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The electric potential energy is defined as the ability to perform a work that originates from a particular position or configuration. In terms of electricity, when any charged particle exerts a force on another charge, then the potential energy is originated from any collection of charges. This Potential energy is applicable for the conservative force that converts it into kinetic energy and the total amount of energy remains conserved.

Thus, the kinetic energy of the moving electrons comes directly from the electric potential energy.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
