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.
What device produces electrical energy?
A generator, alternator, or dynamo is a (usually)rotating machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.This is the principle behind electrical generation with the windmill, hydroelectric generator, crank generator. Ocean wave generators take advantage of the vertical motion of rising and falling water to achieve the same effect.
When was the first practical application of electricity?
It was in 1800, Alessandro Volta made a battery (also known as a voltaic pile), made from alternating layers of zinc and copper. This battery provided scientisists with a more reliable source of electrical energy that the electrostatic machines previously used.
What is EFW pipe?
Electrical fusion welded pipes made by rolling plate or sheet into pipe and joined by electrical fusion welding.
What mineral is oftern used as an insulator in electrical equipment?

What is alternative energy made of?
Alternative energy is made of renewable resources. :)
What is one form of alternative energy what are the pros and cons of this form?
One proposed form of alternative energy is engine fuel made from corn. The main benefit of this form of alternative energy is that it is clean burning, and could be easily and cheaply made. The main disadvantage is the fact that virtually everyone would have to get a new car in order to implement the corn-based fuel right away.
Electrical energy is the energy of what?
Electrical energy is the energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a conductor.
What is the name for energy made by moving electrons?
electricity, electrical energy
How do you convert thermal energy into electrical energy and are electrical energy and mechanical energy the same thing?
I don't know how to convert it, but I'll answer the second question.Mechanical energy is made from say...a Bike, the energy that makes it move and pulls it forward is considered mechanical energy. Electrical energy is made from a lightbulb, or anything that is electrical. So to answer that question..No, mechanical energy is not the same as electrical energy.Answer:Electrical Energy is consumed by, it is not made from a lightbulb or anything that is electrical... Steam (thermal energy) drives a turbine which drives a generator (mechanical energy) which produces electrical energy.No they are not the same thing aside from both being forms of energy.Electrical energy can be converted into mechanical energy such as plugging in your blender or vacuum cleaner and mechanical energy can be converted to electrical energy as mentioned in the example of the generator above.
What energy is made in a power plant?
Energy is not made. Nor destroyed, either, for that matter. Energy is simply converted from one type to another. A power plant converts some other form of energy to electricity. For example, water dam generators convert moving, or kinetic energy to electrical energy.
What is the best alternative energy car?
A compressed air car planned to be out soon and made by Zero Pollution Motors will surely be the best alternative energy car.Until then, the Ford Fusion is a great alternative.

What kind of energy is made when steam comes out of the earth and spins a turbine?
The energy made by the turbine/generator is electrical, but the source of the energy is geothermal
I have energy. Who has a device that converts radiant energy into electrical energy?
You could be a Solar electrical panel made up of many solar cells converting our Sun's radiant light energy into electricity.
Energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a conductor?
The energy made available by the flow of electrons is known as electricity.
What is the define for electrical energy?
Electrical energy is energy caused by charged particle's nature of attracting and repelling each other. Electricity is a flow of charged particles. Charged particles will flow when they are being repelled from a spot and/or attracted to another. Hence a collection of positive charges will attract negatively charged particles and repel positively charged particles. Separating positive and negative charges takes energy, and they will try to come together again. That 'coming together' can be tapped as an energy source. It is electrical energy.
