NGSS.MS-PS3-5

Which of the following best describes how electrical energy is made available?

• By the flow of electrical charge through a conductor

• By the movement of air

• By the vibration of molecules

• By the absorption of sunlight

Why are conductors important for electrical energy?

• They allow electrical charge to flow, making electrical energy available

• They block the flow of electrical charge

• They store electrical energy for later use

• They convert electrical energy into sound energy
