Which of the following does NOT describe how an electric circuit can be used to produce thermal energy?
A.
As electrical energy travels through a closed circuit, the battery begins to heat up.
If a light bulb is turned on in an electric circuit, the bulb will start to heat up.
As electrical energy travels through a closed circuit, the copper wires begin to heat up.
If a light bulb is turned off in an electric circuit, the bulb will start to heat up.

In recent decades, LED (light-emitting diode) light bulbs have gained popularity over traditional light bulbs. The newer technology that is used in LED light bulbs does not produce nearly as much thermal energy as that of traditional light bulbs. How could this be beneficial?
The bulbs are safer to use because they do not become as hot to the touch.
The bulbs cannot be used as a good source of heat to a plant or an animal that requires an indoor heat source.
The bulbs last longer because they are not wasting as much energy (lost through the thermal energy that is given off).
Both A and C are correct.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Some appliances, like toasters, need to be plugged in to an electric outlet in the wall to provide a source of electrical energy and close the circuit so that electricity can flow through and the appliances can function. Other devices, like cell phones, do not need to be plugged in to the wall, but they still require a source of electrical energy to produce light and other types of energy in a closed circuit. What provides the source of electrical energy in devices like these?
A battery
Wires inside the cell phone
The buttons on the side of the cell phone
The screen on a cell phone collecting energy from the Sun and changing it to electrical energy
