Charges in a Circuit Visualization

The video explains how charges move through a circuit with a battery and a resistor, illustrating changes in electric potential energy using colors. Blue represents minimum energy, while red represents maximum energy. As charges pass through the battery, they gain energy, changing from blue to red. In ideal wires, charges maintain constant energy, shown by a constant color. When passing through the resistor, energy is converted to heat, changing the color from red to blue.

What happens to the electric potential energy of charges as they pass through a resistor?
