What does dormant mean in a volcano's life?

It is hard to distinguish between a dormant and extinct volcano, but it will be considered dormant if it has not showed signs of eruption over several spans of its recharge period. For example, a volcano that has been known to erupt every twenty years might be considered dormant if it goes sixty years without erupting. Signs that a volcano might be dormant and is not nearing an eruption include: -Does not produce smoke or sulfuric smell from vents or crater -Lava cannot be viewed in or near the volcano, or can only be found very deep inside the crater -No tremors or small earthquakes have been detected in the area around the volcano for a long period of time -Small plants and trees have grown naturally on the cone. (More plant life than moss or lichen)

Can you use energy of erupting volcano for electricity production?

Sort of, but not really. An erupting volcano is a violent, rapidly changing event. It'd be hard to install a power plant, and it may get destroyed at any minute. Better then to pick a spot where the action is slower but more reliable.
