watts or kilowatts
are used to measure power, which is how quickly energy flows, and electrical energy is measured in kilowatt-hours.
A kilowatt-hour is also known as a Unit of electrical energy, and it is the amount of energy used when a power of 1 kilowatt flows for 1 hour.

* Volt for voltage
* Ampere for current
* Watt for power
* Ohms for resistance
* Coulomb for electrical charge
* Farad for capacitance
And several others more.

Ways you turn uranium into energy you can use?
Under nuclear fission with thermal neutrons uranium release an enormous quantity of energy (202,5 MeV per one atom of 235U); the obtained heat is converted in electricity.
Can electrical energy converted into chemical energy?
electrical energy can be transformed into chemical energy. electricity can initiate a chemical reaction, it can change form of chemicals so that they could be again used to produce electricity. example- a rechargeable cell or battery uses same concept to store energy.
When a car is driven the chemical energy in gasoline converted into?
Chemical energy is converted into heat energy which is then converted into mechanical energy
What requires the use of uranium in a nuclear reactor?
Under nuclear fission with thermal neutrons uranium release an enormous quantity of energy (202,5 MeV per one atom of 235U); the obtained heat is converted in electricity. And we need electricity and heat. also uranium is an alternative to fossil fuels; nuclear reactors don't contribute to global warming and don't release carbon dioxide.
Why is chemical energy the energy that is converted to thermal energy?
Various kinds of energy may be converted into thermal energy.In a fire it is chemical energy that is converted to thermal energy.However:In a nuclear reactor, nuclear energy is first converted to thermal energy, and eventually to electrical energy.In a fire chemical energy is also converted to light energy.In a battery chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.In braking systems kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.
How is uranium transformed into electricity?
The uranium fission release an enormous quantity of energy (202,5 MeV for one aton of 235U); this energy as heat is converted in electricity.
How you turn uranium into electricity?
The uranium fission release an enormous quantity of energy (approx. 202,5 MeV for one atom of 235U); the themal energy is converted in electricity.
How is uranium transformed into useful energy?
Uranium fission with thermal neutrons release an enormous quantity of energy; this heat is converted in electricity.
What is the difference between electricity and electrical energy?
Electricity is the flow of electrons, while electrical energy is the magnitude of the electricity times the duration.Comment'Electricity' is a generic title for a branch of science, and is not a quantity and so cannot be measured. Current is the flow of electrons, not 'electricity', and current x time is charge, not energy. 'Electrical energy' is simply a form of energy which can be measured by the work it can do.
How many volts does A banana have?
Foods has some Chemical Potential Energy which can be converted into electricity. Chemical potential energy that comes from food is called calories . since banana have calories it has small quantity of electricity.
What energy transfers generate electricity in the dam's staction?
The water's potential energy is converted into mechanical energy (movement); this is then converted to electricity.
In Einstein theory of relativity tell what each of the letters stands for?
e=mc2 e is energy measure in joules,m is the quantity of mass that is converted to energy measured in kilograms,and c is the speed of light measured in m/s.
how mechanical energy converted to electricity?
Well, electricity energy is an energy source. Mechanical energy is the energy of potential energy and kinetic energy. A machine that runs on electricity and uses mechanical energy as a result is the conversion. When energy is converted, a small part is converted into thermal energy, or heat energy. Electricity is also a type of potential energy, because it is stored energy.
What is the energy of water converted to electricity?
It is kinetic energy.
How does nuclear energy power a device?
Typically the nuclear energy is converted to electricity and the electricity powers the device. No much differently than the chemical energy in fossil fuels is often converted to electricity and the electricity powers the device.
What can electical energy convert into?
Electric Energy can be converted into many different forms of energy. The most common type of energy electricity is converted into is light energy - as with a light bulb. Another form of energy electricity can be converted into would be kinetic (motion) energy.
How is electricity generated from uranium?
Under nuclear fission with thermal neutrons uranium release an enormous quantity of energy (202,5 MeV per one atom of 235U); the obtained heat is converted in electricity.
