Question regarding the image of the unity $e$ of the ring $R$.

69 Views Asked by At

I was reading Ring Homomorphism .

$\phi : R \to R'$ is a ring homomorphism and $e , e'$ are the unities of $R $ and $R'$ respectively.

I understood that $\phi (e) $ may not be unity of $R'$.

I think the following statements are true.

( 1 ) $\phi (e) $ is always unity of $\phi (R) $ .

(2) If $\phi $ is on to then $\phi (e) = e'$

(3) If $\phi $ is non trivial and $R'$ is a field then $\phi (e) = e'$.

Can someone check if there is any mistake in my understanding?
