Question

3.020) which of these are required for an electrical circuit to work? a. complete path for the electricity to flow through, power source to create the electricity, wires to carry the electricity, and resistor to slow down the flow of electricity b. complete path for the electricity to flow through, power source to create the electricity, wires to carry the electricity, and device to use the electricity c. capacitor to store electrical charge, power source to create the electricity, wires to carry the electricity, and device to use the electricity d. resistor to slow down the flow of electricity, complete path for the electricity to flow through, wires to carry the electricity, and capacitor to store electrical charge

Explanation:

To determine the requirements for an electrical circuit to work, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A resistor is not a required component for a basic circuit to work (it's optional for controlling current), so A is incorrect.
• Option B: A complete path (closed circuit), power source (to provide energy), wires (to conduct electricity), and a device (load) to use the electricity are the essential components of a working electrical circuit. This matches the basic requirements.
• Option C: A capacitor is not a required component for a basic circuit to function (it's used for storage in specific applications), so C is incorrect.
• Option D: Resistors and capacitors are not essential for a basic circuit to work; they are optional components for specific purposes, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. complete path for the electricity to flow through, power source to create the electricity, wires to carry the electricity, and device to use the electricity
