voltage. In fact, the energy transfer is given by the power multiplied by the time during which it acts. Thus the units are watts.secs, or multiples such as kilowatt.hours. One watt.sec = 1Joule.
Answer
Energy is not transferred to the load via the free electrons drifting through the wire. The 'conveyor belt' theory of electrons delivering energy and returning to the supply, depleted of that energy, is completely incorrect. This is because (a) charges (electrons) drift far too slowly (millimetres per hour) and (b) in the case of a.c., they simply vibrate back and forth. Energy is delivered external to the conductors probably via what is known as the 'Poynting's Field', a combination of the electrical field and the magnetic field.

What is a break in an electrical circuit called?
A break in an electric circuit is called an open circuit. Electric current will not flow through an open circuit.
What is a loop of electrical conductors called?
Electric circuit
What energy transformation takes place inside an electric cell when it is part of a complete electric circuit?
When an electric cell is a part of a complete electric circuit, the chemical energy of its chemical is converted in to electrical energy.
What is an alternate name for an electric diagram?
There is no "proper name" for an electrical diagram. They are commonly called circuit diagrams.
Why is electric energy can not be stored?
Electrical energy is a form of energy derived from the flow of neutrons, the negatively charged particles in atoms. When loosely used to describe energy absorbed or delivered by an electrical circuit, "electrical energy" refers to energy which has been converted from electrical potential energy. This energy is supplied by the combination of electric current and electrical potential that is delivered by the circuit. At the point that this electrical potential energy has been converted to another type of energy, it ceases to be electrical potential energy. Thus, all electrical energy is potential energy before it is delivered to the end-use. Once converted from potential energy, electrical energy can always be described as another type of energy (heat, light, motion, etc.).
What is an electric circuit that controls another electric circuit through a relay?
Remote-Control Circuit. Any electrical circuit that controlsany other circuit through a relay or an equivalent device.
What is a measure of the amount of electrical energy transferred by an electric charge as it moves from one point to another in a circuit.?
Electrical energy is measured in the same units as any other type of energy, namely joules. The amount of energy PER UNIT CHARGE is measured in volt.
What is the function of a build in an electric circuit?
I have never heard of an electrical term "build" in an electrical circuit.
What is the difference between electric and electrical?
Pronunciation. An electrical circuit is the exact same as the electric system.
What is a break in an electrical circuit called?
A break in an electric circuit is called an open circuit. Electric current will not flow through an open circuit.
What is closed path throuth which current can flow?
An electric circuit.
What is an electric circuit in which the electric charges have only one path to follow?
It is a series electrical circuit.
What is an electric diagram?
It is the graphical representation of the electrical circuit.
What flows through an electric circuit?
An electrical current.
What is a loop of electrical conductors called?
Electric circuit
What is the function of a cell in an electrical circuit?
it's function is to supply energy(electric)
Electricity will flow only if an electrical circuit is?
if an electric circuit has potential difference. Electricity will flow only if an electrical circuit is closed.
