The correct response is:
Electrical energy will decrease if it is converted into other forms, such as heat or mechanical energy.
As the electric current moves through the circuit, it may do work (like powering a motor or lighting a bulb) which converts electrical energy into other forms of energy. Additionally, some energy may be lost as heat due to resistance in the wires, resulting in a decrease in electrical energy as the current flows through the circuit.
