Question

which statement best describes electricity? *
a primary source of energy found in nature
a way to store energy for later use
a carrier that transfers energy from one place to another
a renewable resource

energy is best defined as: *
the movement of electrons through a conductor
the ability to do work
the rate at which electricity is used
a unit measured in kilowatt - hours

Explanation:

For the first question: Primary energy sources are natural resources like coal or sunlight; electricity is generated from these, so it is not a primary source. Batteries store energy, not electricity itself. Electricity is not inherently renewable—it depends on its generation source. Electricity acts as a carrier to move energy from generation sites to end users.
For the second question: The movement of electrons is electric current, not energy. The rate of electricity use is power. Kilowatt-hours are a unit of energy, not the definition of energy itself. The fundamental definition of energy is the capacity to perform work.

Answer:

1. A carrier that transfers energy from one place to another
2. The ability to do work
