AMass transfer
BEnergy use
CCharge storage
DField creation
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Energy use
1. Energy conservation is applied to circuits throughout.
2. The idea of energy conservation is applied to electric circuits.
3. Concepts of electric energy and electric power are connected.
4. Power is treated as a rate of energy use.
5. That is why its units are joules per second.
