The electrons in an electric current are carrying no energy. The filament lamp transfers none of this energy into thermal (heat) energy and light.
-
The electrons in an electric current are creating energy. The filament lamp transfers some of this energy into thermal (heat) energy and light.
-
The electrons in an electric current are carrying energy. The filament lamp transfers some of this energy into elastic potential energy and thermal energy.
