There is no useable electrical energy in water. But if by electrolysis the water can be split into separate hydrogen and oxygen components which are collected separately, the hydrogen can be burnt as a fuel.
When the hydrogen is burnt, no more energy is produced than what went into the original electrolysis, so the water is not a source of energy, it is more of a way to store energy.
Moving water can be used to generate electricity, in hydroelectric schemes and in tidal and wave generators.
What else can I help you with?
What is use of water energy?
Water energy, or hydroelectricity, is used for powered homes and its electrical appliances.
What kind of energy is used when water decomposes?
To separate water into hydrogen and oxygen, electrolysis is usually used; this uses electrical energy. Of course, the electrical energy can be generated in any of several ways.
What kind of device is used to convert moving water to electrical energy?
A hydroelectric turbine is used to convert the energy of moving water into electrical energy. This turbine is connected to a generator that produces electricity as the water flows through the turbine.
How is potential energy used to produce useful energy?
Potential Energy of WATER used to produce Electrical Energy in Hydropower Stations. The potential energy in Water stored at height in Constructed DAMS, moves Turbines when Water FLOWS through them. Turbines then rotates Generators and Produce Electrical Energy widely used by Human Endeavours (Domestic & Industrial Purposes).
Can water be used as an engine?
Yes because water with an electrical current can turn into an energy source.
What energy is used to power a computer?
The energy used to power a computer is Electrical Energy.
If energy and mass cannot be destryed than what happends to the electrons of used electrical energy and why is this used energy unable to be converted back to electrical energy?
The electrons in an electrical current are not used up by the current. They are simply moved. A simple way to think of the current is as a stream of water, except that in the current it is electrons that are flowing, not water molecules. When the energy in a water current is tapped - by a turbine, say - the water molecules are not destroyed, although the turbine obtains energy.In principle used ("converted" would be better) electrical energy could be changed back into electrical energy, except that some of it will be forever lost as heat. This energy has not been destroyed, merely converted into a form where it can do no useful work. This is an inevitable consequence of the second law of thermodynamics, which applies to all energy conversions, not just electrical ones.
Name two common energy conversions involving electrical energy?
Electrical energy to light energy: When electrical energy is passed through a light bulb, it is converted into light energy, allowing the bulb to produce light. Electrical energy to heat energy: When electrical energy flows through a resistor or heating element, it is converted into heat energy, which can be used for various applications such as heating water or a room.
What happens when electrical energy is added to water?
When electrical energy is added to water it creates electric shock.
Can electrical energy be converted to chemical energy?
Yes, electrical energy can be used to drive chemical reactions that store energy in chemical bonds, thereby converting it to chemical energy. This is how processes like electrolysis work, where electrical energy is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases.
How does running water make electricity?
Moving water can be used to produce energy because potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy. Stored water is converted into kinetic energy. As the water travels, it is converted into electrical energy thus being used for electricity.
What type of energy conversions occur when energy is given off by splitting atoms turn into water steam?
When energy is given off by splitting atoms, it is converted from nuclear energy to thermal energy. This thermal energy is then used to heat water and turn it into steam, which can be used to drive turbines and generate electrical energy, converting the thermal energy into mechanical and then electrical energy.
