Well, I've had many undergraduates who will respond to a question testing
this concept, saying that they believe that resistors heat up because the
electrons lose kinetic energy when passing through the resistor, which is
the same as saying they go in faster than they come out. I would have
thought they'd not respond this way if they really grasped the continuity
equation, or Kirchoff's laws.
