The kinetic energy of an electron transformed into potential energy when it interacts with other electrons without changing its speed.
What is kinetic energy?
The average kinetic energy (KE) is defined as the one-half of the mass of each gas molecule times multiplied by the square of RMS velocity.
[tex]\rm {KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2}[/tex]
where,
KE is the kinetic energy
m is the mass of each molecule
(V)rms is the RMS velocity
According to the law of conservation of energy, kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy. In that case, speed does not play a major role.
When an electron collides with the other electron Its energy gets transferred to the other electrons. The moving electrons get stuck and come to rest.
Hence the kinetic energy of an electron transformed into potential energy when it interacts with other electrons without changing its speed.
