The unit of electrical energy is the same as the unit for any other type of energy. The international unit for energy is the joule.


What is the difference between electrical potential energy and potential difference?

Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit coulomb. So unit for electric potential is J/C and that of electric potential energy is simply J

Why is electro motive force called a force?

EMF is the energy per unit electric charge that is imparted by an energy source, such as an electric generator or a battery. As the device does work on the electric charge being transferred within itself, energy is converted from one form to another. This is the reason why it is called a force.The work done on a unit of electric charge or the energy gained by the unit charge is the electromotive force emf (or E) and is characteristic of any energy source capable of driving electric charge around a circuit. A common unit of electromotive force is the volt V, a unit equal to the difference in electric potential between two points in a conductor carrying a current of one ampere and dissipating one watt of power between the two points.


What is the unit of electrical energy measured by an electric meter?

The international unit for energy is the joule, equal to the watt-second. Electric meters, however, are usually calibrated to measure kilowatt-hours (equal to 3.6 million watt-seconds).


How how does watt to energy work?

Watt is a unit of power. watt hours is a unit of energy. (Note x watts times y hours is what you pay for on your electric bill.)


What unit shows the difference in charge between two points?

I don't think such a unit is used, or would make much sense, in physics. That sounds like the description of voltage - unit volt. However, the volt is not really a difference in electric charge, but rather, of electric potential. It can be understood as potential energy related to electric fields: if there is an electric potential between two points, it requires a certain amount of energy to move a unit charge from one point to the other. Thus, the unit volt is equivalent to joules / coulomb.


What is electric and is the rate at which electrical energy does work?

Power; its SI unit is watt. Please note that this is notspecifically an electrical unit; "power", and the unit "watt", is the rate of energy conversion, and can be used anywhere where energy is converted - whether "work" is involved, or some other (non-mechanical) energy.


What is practical unit of energy?

What is practical is a relative question. The unit for electric cars and biology may be Kilo Joules and ev, electron volts.
