Electrons may accumulate in a circuit if there is change of resistance but that's against Kirchoff's law-then?

Question

the change of resistance in a circuit leads to the drift velocity changing, so the electrons initially in a lower resistance would slow down and perhaps accumulate if it enters higher resistance?

Answer 1

good thinking..but now..you know who electrons flow in conductor(there is somthing called diffusion current in semi conductor)?

so many ppl are standing in a queue..you push one end..the push is felt in the other end..so actually the electron you pump in doesnt come out through the other side..instead your el enters and one el leaves the other end..

kirchoff's law is actually called the law of continuity of electrons..in phi6 you can encounter a thing called divergence..in vector calculus.

if u are really intersted go for electronics in engg..

its only a resistance you are learning about now..there are more general things which are really amazing and ll pull u deep inside electronics..

you should really be interested in physix then..

drift current is wat i explained..diffusion current is due gradient in concentration of electrons..so its like sand falling off the heap to the ground..learn things relating to water circuits..its really great..best of luck
