Why is electric energy can not be stored?
Electrical energy is a form of energy derived from the flow of neutrons, the negatively charged particles in atoms. When loosely used to describe energy absorbed or delivered by an electrical circuit, "electrical energy" refers to energy which has been converted from electrical potential energy. This energy is supplied by the combination of electric current and electrical potential that is delivered by the circuit. At the point that this electrical potential energy has been converted to another type of energy, it ceases to be electrical potential energy. Thus, all electrical energy is potential energy before it is delivered to the end-use. Once converted from potential energy, electrical energy can always be described as another type of energy (heat, light, motion, etc.).
Is a refrigerator.kinetic or potential energy?
No, if a puddle of water is frozen particles in the ice do not have kinetic energy because the water is frozen.
Electrical potential energy?
Electrical potential energy is the energy associated with the magnitudes of the charges on electrically charged particles and the positions of the particles relative to one another. The closer two particles with the same charge are, the greater the potential energy. Therefore, the particles have the greatest electrical potential energy at position 1. Electrical potential energy is similar to gravitational potential energy. Both energies exist because the relative positions of two objects give the objects the ability to do work.
What is a type of potential energy?
kenetic is energy in motion and potential energy is energy that is stored.
What two factors determine the potential energy of an elevated object?
Potential energy can be descirbed in many forms: gravitational potential, electrical potential and so forth. For gravitational potential energy, the formula is E=mgh, where E is the gravitational potential energy, m is the mass of the object , g is the strength of the prevailent gravitational field and h is the height above that field. In this instance, the factors determing the potential energy are threefold; the mass, the gravitational field strength and the height. For electrical potential, the factors vary depending on what electrical field, componant or senario you are dealing with. In essence, an object has electrical potential energy when it has become charged (such as an Ion), or it is feeling the effects of conflicting magnetic feilds and motion (as in electro-magnetic induction).
What is the main energy conversion in a battery when it is charged?
Electrical Enegy is converted to Chemical Potential Energy
When potential energy turns into electrical energy which form of energy does potential first become?
Potential energy becomes static energy in the form of a difference of potential energy between two bodies, or clouds of charged particles. For instance the motion of any object against another object causes particles to become statically charged. That is potential and electrical. Once an electrical path is found between those fields the electrical force becomes similar to kinetic force and this is current.
What is the definition of electrical energy i can't find it anywhere?
Perhaps the flow of charged electrical particles through a conductor? Might try looking up electrical potential energy.

Do charges in an electric circuit flow because of a difference in electrical potential energy?
"voltage" (also referred to as 'potential')

Does a microwave have kinetic or potential energy?
both. If moving we have kinetic. also have chemical energy stored in our bodies and that's potential energy. there is also physical potential energy stored in us if we are held up in the air with the possibility of falling.
Is electrical energy potential energy?
yes
What is a electrical current is produced when charges are accelerated by an electrical field to move to a position of potential energy that is?
potential energy
