Electrical energy will decrease if it is converted into other forms, such as heat or mechanical energy.
Electrical energy will decrease if it is converted into other forms, such as heat or mechanical energy.

The electrical energy will decrease throughout the wire because all energy eventually fades out.

Electrical energy might increase if the energy is used to move a device that increases the current.
Electrical energy might increase if the energy is used to move a device that increases the current.

The electrical energy will be the same at all points because energy is neither created nor destroyed.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Electrical energy will decrease if it is converted into other forms, such as heat or mechanical energy.

In a circuit, as electric current flows, some of the electrical energy can be converted to other forms of energy (like heat in resistors or mechanical energy in motors), leading to a decrease in the amount of electrical energy available as the current moves through the circuit.
