Probably the commonest example of electrical strain energy, is the charge stored on a capacitor. This energy is stored by straining the dielectric, and this is how the energy is stored.
Similarly, there are a family of natural materials in which an applied strain will result in an electrical charge manifesting on two of the surfaces. Ordinary quartz is the commonest material exhibiting this behavior to a significant level, but many synthetic materials have been developed to perform well.
One application of these is as piezo-electric drivers for cutting tools. Another everyday application is in the 'piezo' crystal used in gas appliances as an igniter.

What is the function of an electric motor in terms of electric power and motor?
The electric motor changes electric energy into mechanical energy.
What is the output of an electric motor?
An electric motor converts electrical energy to kinetic energy.
How is the transfer of thermal energy from electric devices regulated?
A device that converts electric energy into thermal energy. A device that regulates the temperature of a system. A device that uses electric energy to transfer thermal energy from a cooler location to a warmer location. A machine that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy.
What would one use a strain gauge for?
Like the name suggests, a strain gauge is a device used to measure the strain of an object. The devices electrical resistance varies in proportion to the amount of strain on the device.
Which energy transformation is an electric fan?
electrical energy transforms into machenical energy.
How can piezoelectric materials generate electricity from human footsteps?
Just place a piezo electric crystal in your shoe then due to alternate change of your feet causes mechanical stress and strain .Inverse piezo electric effect states that when stress and strain is given along mechanical axes it creates electricity along electrical axes.Thus piezo electric crystal converts mechanical energy to electrical energy.
Strain energy definitions?
Strain energy is a form of potential energy. Work done to distort an elastic member is stored as strain energy. Some energy may be lost in plastic deformation of the member and some may be converted into heat instead of stored as strain energy, but the rest is recoverable. A spring is an example of a storage device for strain energy.
Breif answer on what is electric energy?
Electric Energy is the energy of the Universe. All energy is electric energy. Gravitational Energy is electric in the sense that matter is held together by electric energy. Briefly, Electric energy is E= - q1q2 zc/r where q is the electric charge, z is the free space resistance and c is the speed of light.
Find an expression for the energy density in terms of stress and strain?
The expression for the energy density in terms of stress and strain can be expressed as ρe.
In electric bell electric energy is converted into which type of energy?
In electric bell, electrical energy is converted int sound energy.
What is strain energy theory?
The strain theory is a state of deviation from bond angle of a normal tetrahedral angle.
Battery energy is turned into electric energy and then turned into what kind of energy?
Mechanical energy
What type of energy transformation of an electric fan?
Electric energy to kitenic energy
Explain why electric motors and generators are opposites?
Electric motors take electric energy and turn it into kinetic energy Generators take mechanical energy and turn it into electric energy
An electric generator changes the energy of what?
Electric energy into motion.
Is an x ray solar energy chemical energy mechanical energy electric energy or sound energy?
electric energy
What changes chemical energy into electric energy?
a dry cell can make electric energy
