Question

You construct a simple electrical current to boil water for tea. A battery generates positive and negative charges. A wire connects the battery to a hot plate. When you close the circuit, the hot plate turns on and heats the tea kettle. Which object in this circuit is the load?

Answer 1

Answer

The hot plate

Answer 2

The hot plate

Step-by-step explanation:

An electrical component that consumes or takes up the current in the circuit is known as the load.

In this circuit, the hot plate takes up the current produced when the circuit is closed. The current it take up is used to heat up the tea kettle.

Hence, we can see from the foregoing that the hot plate is the load in this circuit.
