Sometimes, but electricity isn't an energy SOURCE; it's an energy CONDUIT. Electricity is how we get energy from one place to another, and how we use it when it gets there.
Electricity doesn't stand still; at least, not naturally. We generate electricity with generators that use some other power source to spin a turbine; a jet engine, for example, or falling water, or steam. The electricity goes through a wire to where we use it by converting it into some other form; light, or heat, or music, or radio transmissions. We can store electricity in a battery, but that's a very inefficient process so far. And the electricity doesn't really do us any good until we convert it into something else.

What is the science behind wind energy resource?
maybe that it generates electricity
What type of energy resource is solar energy?
Solar energy takes the form of radiation. Solar panels may allow this solar energy to be converted to heat or to electricity. (Electricity is not a fuel or even energy: it is a means of transferring energy).
What is a natural resource that can be converted into other forms of energy to do work?
Fossil fuels. Uranium. Coal, oil and natural gas. Wind and water (hydro-electric). Sunlight. Geothermal sources. Technically, "work" is the conversion of energy with time, as 1W = 1J/s conversion.
What topics does physical include?
The study of energy is a major topic also electricity (which can technically be considered an energy)
What energy resource is used to obtain electricity without producing heat to boil water?
Hydro-electric generator in a dam
Is electricity energy considered a resource?
Electricity is not an energy resource. It is called an energy carrier. That means the energy resource (coal, uranium, oil, gas, wood, wind, solar, etc..) is transferred to electricity (in a power plant) and this electricity is transferred to the end energy user (homes, industry, etc..).
What type of energy resource is renewable resource?
the energy which can be used again and again for our use like solar energy, wind energy to use electricity. the others types of energy resource which will be renewable. it is present more in rajasthan
What is the science behind wind energy resource?
maybe that it generates electricity
What energy resource is most commonly use to make electricity?
coal
Geothermal energy is considered a... fossil fuel renewable resource nonrenewable resource or a recyclable resource?
it is a renewable resource
Is electricity a secondary resource true or false?
Yes! Because the energy can be renewable.
What type of energy resource is solar energy?
Solar energy takes the form of radiation. Solar panels may allow this solar energy to be converted to heat or to electricity. (Electricity is not a fuel or even energy: it is a means of transferring energy).
Sunlight is what type of resource?
Sunlight is a type of renewable resource, because every day, the sun shines. It makes heat and light energy. Sun energy is also called solar energy. Electricity can be made from solar energy
A renewable energy resource that can stop?
Hydro-electricity is a purely perfect example. Others, Quizzies?
Which type of renewable energy resource would be best to use to provide electricity for your town?
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
What energy resource is most commonly used to make electricity in US?
Coal. Coal fired plant generate the bulk of IS electricity making.
What is a natural resource that can be converted into other forms of energy to do work?
Fossil fuels. Uranium. Coal, oil and natural gas. Wind and water (hydro-electric). Sunlight. Geothermal sources. Technically, "work" is the conversion of energy with time, as 1W = 1J/s conversion.
