Hi,
I'm just starting to study circuits, and there's a thing I don't understand about electric potential.
I was under the impression that as a charge moves through the circuit from the high potential end of the battery to the low potential end, it lost electric potential energy which became kinetic energy.
However, I found this graph:
In circuit B, the diagram states that from A to B the electric potential stays at 6V. Surely the charge would lose some electric potential and gain some kinetic energy?
Can anyone explain this?
Thanks!
