I Does current decrease inside a wire or does it increase it's velocity?
I've been really confused on how electricity and circuits work 1. If eletrons "slow down" inside a resistor (or wire, I'm considering it's resistance to be ≠ 0) because of collisions with the lattice, then wouldn't the electrons pile up? The charges accumulating doesn't seem to be good. 2. Some...- ananunes06

How do we obtain an ampere-hour rating given voltage and watt-hour?
The solution is thus 0.69 ampere-hours, or 690 mA-hours. Now, as far as I can tell, an ampere-hour is unit of charge. That is we can convert it to coulombs (C). For example, if we have a current of 1A for 1h, then we have 1 C/s x 3600 s = 3600 C = 1 ampere-hour. This is my guess since the book...- zenterix
