Question

You construct a simple electrical current to boil water for tea a battery generates positive and negative charges A wire connects the battery to a hot plate when you close the circuit the hot plate turns on and heats the tea kettle which object in the circuit is the load A the tea kettle B the battery C The wire D the hot plate

Answer 1

In this circuit, the load is the object that consumes electrical energy to perform work. In your case, the hot plate is the device that converts electrical energy into heat energy to boil water for tea. Therefore, the correct answer is:

**D: the hot plate.**

The tea kettle is not the load; instead, it is the container being heated by the load (hot plate). The battery provides the electrical energy, and the wires facilitate the connection between the components.
