There is a current in the copper wire of an electric bell, and the wire becomes warm. Which statement describes what happens to the charge and the energy carried by the drifting electrons in the wire?
The charge passes through the wire, and some of the energy is transferred to the ions of the lattice.
Some of the charge and some of the energy are both transferred to the ions of the lattice.
The charge passes through the wire, and some of the energy is transferred to the other electrons.
Some of the charge is transferred to the ions of the lattice, and the energy passes through the wire.
