उत्तर
i. When electrons flows through the resistor (during flowing electric current) electron possesses kinetic energy.
ii. During the flow of electron there is decrease in kinetic energy of electrons due to collision on atoms, ions and molecules.
iii. According to the law of conservation of energy decrease in kinetic energy gets converted into heat.

Two students decided to investigate the effect of water and air on iron object under identical experimental conditions. They measured the mass of each object before placing it partially immersed in 10 ml of water. After a few days, the object were removed, dried and their masses were measured. The table shows their results.
| Student | Object | Mass of Object before Rusting in g |
Mass of the coated object in g |
