Question

which device provides electrical energy to run an electric circuit?
the wire
the switch
the battery
the light bulb

Explanation:

To determine which device provides electrical energy for an electric circuit, we analyze each option:

• The wire is used to conduct electricity, not provide it.
• The switch controls the flow of electricity (opens or closes the circuit), not provide energy.
• The battery is a source of electrical energy, converting chemical energy to electrical energy to power the circuit.
• The light bulb is a load (uses electrical energy to produce light/heat), not a source.

Answer:

C. the battery
