Question

An electric current moves through a circuit that makes a complete loop. How will the amount of electrical energy change as the current moves through the circuit?(1 point)
Responses

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

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

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

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

Answer 1

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

Explanation: As current passes through resistors, motors, bulbs, etc., electrical energy is transformed into heat, light, or mechanical work. The total energy is conserved, but the amount stored as electrical energy drops as it's converted.
