B. Electrical energy

Among the choices given, the type of energy associated with electric currents is electrical energy. By its definition, electric current is the flow of charged particles through a conductor or a conduction medium, for example, a wire. Basically, it involves electricity. It is similar to water current but instead of water molecules, charged particles move down a conductor. These charged particles are mostly electrons which move freely and at random. When all the free electrons move in the same direction, a current is created.
