The correct response is:
**when it interacts with other electrons, decreasing its speed.**
When an electron interacts with another electron and loses kinetic energy (decreasing speed), that lost kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy due to electrostatic interactions between the charged particles.
**when it interacts with other electrons, decreasing its speed.**
When an electron interacts with another electron and loses kinetic energy (decreasing speed), that lost kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy due to electrostatic interactions between the charged particles.
