Question
A source of emf is connected by wires to a resistor, and electrons flow in the circuit. The wire diameter is the same throughout the circuit. Compared to the potential energy of an electron before entering the source of emf, the potential energy of an electron after leaving the source of emf is

Answer
The potential energy is less
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The source of the emf is by wires to a resistor.
Now the potential energy of electron before leaving the source emf will be greater than the potential energy of an electron after leaving the source of emf because the resistor connected to the source emf will reduced the potential energy as it will convert some of the energy to heat
