The option that correctly lists the three essential components of an electrical circuit is:
An energy source, a load, a path for the source to the load.
This option accurately describes the fundamental components of an electrical circuit, where:
- Energy Source - Provides the electrical energy (e.g., battery).
- Load - Consumes the electrical energy (e.g., light bulb).
- Path - Allows the flow of electrical current (e.g., wires).
The other options, while describing specific examples or configurations, do not correctly encompass the general components of an electrical circuit.
