A battery is what type of energy?
They contain chemical energy. If you are charging a battery, it has electric energy.
What is an electric car storage battery used for?
Your question contains the answer. It is used to store electrical energy. This energy is used to start the car and run the engine and all electronics.
How can you use up a source of energy when energy cannot be destroyed?
We run out of means to convert it. Coal is stored potential energy, if we use it all and the resulting heat energy escapes into space, we've lost that energy. World's water evaporates, no hydro power.
What do you think about battery?
first of all I think a battery is a main source of energy :P
Can electrical energy be produced from mechanical energy?
Yes, of course.It happens all the time. In wind mills,hydro power plants directly mechanical energy is used
Why is your mobile warm when charging?
When you're charging a battery, you're pushing electric energy back into the battery. But not all energy is taken up by the battery. Some turns into heat.
What does power from battery do on a car?
The battery is an electrical storage device. When everything works properly, the engine turns the alternator, providing energy to that system. The alternator turns that mechanical energy into electrical energy which is used to operate all of the electrical equipment on the vehicle while the engine is running. The alternator also provides electrical energy to the battery, allowing the battery to store the electrical energy for NEXT time you want to start the engine. The starter requires a large amount of electrical energy, which most automotive batteries are capable of providing. After the battery does it's job, providing energy to the starting system, the alternator then takes over, recharging the battery and providing the energy necessary to run everything... but it's all like that ONLY when everything works properly.
What are some objects that have chemical energy?
Well, a normal battery, a car battery, I can't think of more ! ------------ All chemical substances have chemical energy.
Is all of the chemical energy stored in coal converted to electrical energy?
Yes, it is like a battery.
What energy is stored in a battery?
It's all chemical energy with a small amount of surface charge.
What form is of stored energy?
All potential energy is stored.Chemical (battery) and thermal (storage heaters) energy can also be stored.
Can a battery store energy?
Well, let's see. Can you use the battery to light a lightbulb ? Can you use the battery to run a motor ? Can you use the battery to play an iPod, a cellphone, or a portable DVD player ? Can you use a battery to turn over a gasoline engine and make it start ? Can you use a battery to run an electric car ? All of these need energy to work. I guess they must all get it from the battery.
