Which of the 10 forms of energy does electrical energy use?

I wouldn't say that electrical energy "uses" other types of energy; probably you mean that you can convert other types of energy to electrical energy. Most types of energy can be converted to electrical energy, or actually all of them (as long as there is some useful energy left) - including heat energy, nuclear energy, chemical energy, mechanical energy, etc.


Does matter ever go away or change?

Matter can never go away or disappear as such, but it can be converted into different forms of matter or converted into energy in accordance with the famous equation E=mc2 where E is energy, m is mass and c2 is the square of the speed of light. Matter is commonly converted into different forms (with the release of energy) during radioactive decay, in nuclear reactors and inside stars.
