The method that will be used to measure energy will depend on the type of energy. In most cases, energy will be measured using a thermometer.

It's different for each type of energy stored,

but the easiest is in foot-lbs,

the weight of the object times the distance it can fall.

Energy cannot measure anything! It is a physical quantity that can be measured!! It's like time! Time cannot measure anything but can be measured!

What is electrical energy measured in?

Kilowatt-Hours


What is electrical measurement?

Electric power (how fast energy is being converted into or out of electrical energy) is measured in Watts. Electrical energy is measured in Joules. i Watt for 1 second is 1 Joule. 1000 Watts for 3600 seconds is 3.6 Megajoules, also known as a kilowatt-hour or a Unit of electrical energy.


What unit of electrical power is used to measure how fast electrical energy is used?

Lots of units are used to measure electricity, depending on what aspect you want to measure. For example: Voltage is measured in volts Current is measured in amperes Resistance (as well as impedance) is measured in ohms Power is measured in watts Capacitance is measured in coulomb Inductance is measured in henries etc.


What piece of lab equipment is used to measure work?

There are different methods of measuring work. Work is defined as a change in state of energy from one form to another. Mechanical energy can be measured in horsepower, foot-pounds or their metric equivalent. This is measured with a dynamometer. Electrical energy is measured in watts, this is measured with a watt-ohm meter, or a volt-ammeter. Heat energy is measured with a thermometer, and potential energy can be measured with a calorimeter. For other types of energy there are different tools used to measure it. In order to determine work performed, the energy before the work is done must be measured, then the energy after the work is done is measured, then the work done can be calculated from the results.


Do household appliances use electrical energy at different rates?

Absolutely! the rate that energy is used at is called the power. Electrical energy in the home is measured in kilowatt-hours, which is the energy used by a 1-kilowatt device in one hour. If you take a low-power device such as a 20-watt lamp, that takes 50 hours to use one kilowatt-hour because 20 watts is 0.020 kilowatts of power, and 20 x 0.050 is 1.
