If we only used joules as our measure then the numbers on the bills would be very large. A typical bill may have a 3 month usage of 150kWh. This would be 540000kJ. kWh keeps the numbers small and manageable without the need for a calculator to do the sums. If your bill said you had used 150kWh at 10p per kWh you can quickly see that this is £15 worth of electricity. If it said you had used 540000kJ at 1p per 360kJ then it gets harder to do the mental arithmetic
Answer
There is no special unit of measurement for electricalenergy. All energy, including work and heat, share exactly the same units. And there are many more units for energy than just two, depending on which system of measurements you choose to use: the SI System, the cgsA System, or the Imperial System for example. So energy could be measured in joules, watt hours, calories, British Thermal Units, and so on.

What si units measures electrical energy?
In SI, the same unit is used for any type of energy: the joule.
An electric motor uses an electromagnet to change?
electrical to mechanical
How do you make a sentence for an electrical energy?
i have a better sentence cables to microwaves have electrical energy when you plug them into the electrical source. did that help?
What is the relationship of heat and mechanical energy in terms of units?
You can use the same units (energy units) for both.
When potential energy turns into electrical energy which form of energy does potential first become?
Potential energy becomes static energy in the form of a difference of potential energy between two bodies, or clouds of charged particles. For instance the motion of any object against another object causes particles to become statically charged. That is potential and electrical. Once an electrical path is found between those fields the electrical force becomes similar to kinetic force and this is current.
What is a measurment of electrical energy?
Electrical energy is measured in the same units as any other type of energy: joules.
What is a measure of electrical energy called?
Electrical energy is measured in the same units as any other type of energy: joules.
What are the standard units of electrical energy?
In the SI, any type of energy is measured in joules.
Name two common energy conversions involving electrical energy?
electrical energy to heat energy or electrical energy into kinetic energy
Electrical energy can be measured in units called what not watt?
All forms of energy are measured using the same units. The SI unit for energy is the joule (J). However, the unit used by electrical utility companies is the kilowatt hour (kW.h).
What are two common energy conversions involving electrical energy?
Electrical energy to sound energy with an alarm clock Electrical energy to light energy with a lamp
What two common energy conversions involve electrical energy?
Electrical energy to sound energy with an alarm clock Electrical energy to light energy with a lamp
What are two sources of electrical energy?
there are not just two electrical sources of energy there are lots but two could be solar and biomass
What si units measures electrical energy?
In SI, the same unit is used for any type of energy: the joule.
Electrical potential energy?
Electrical potential energy is the energy associated with the magnitudes of the charges on electrically charged particles and the positions of the particles relative to one another. The closer two particles with the same charge are, the greater the potential energy. Therefore, the particles have the greatest electrical potential energy at position 1. Electrical potential energy is similar to gravitational potential energy. Both energies exist because the relative positions of two objects give the objects the ability to do work.
What forms of energy are in a microwave?
Electrical converted to electromagnetic waves.
Name two things that create electrical energy?
one thing that creates electrical energy is a alternator.
