It's more efficient, and less is lost, when electric power is shipped from place to
place at high voltage ... much higher than what's eventually supplied to homes.
So it's shipped cross-country at extremely high voltages, and then Transformers
are used to step it down somewhat for local distribution, and then again to step it
down just before it goes into houses.

Tidal power how the energy source is turned into usable energy?
Large underwater turbines are placed in areas where tidal forces are high. Here they capture the energy produced by tidal motions to turn generators and produce electricity.
When a cell breaks down glucose only 40 percent of the energy is captured in ATP molecules so where does the remaining 60 percent go?
stored in starch or glycogen for use later by the cell
How is energy transferred in a torch from the battery to the bulb - is it by electricity - is it by light - is it by sound - is it by thermal energy?
By electricity.By electricity.By electricity.By electricity.
What is age of electricity?
Electricity is energy, which is as old as the universe itself.
What is the difference between Energy and Electricity?
Electricity is an example of one type of energy, but there are many other types, such as thermal, mechanical, nuclear, wind, solar,hydro, and others. Electricity generally is used as soon as it is made, it cannot be stored, so it does not fall into the category of potential energy. One exception is in batteries, which can store electricity, though you might consider these to be stores of chemical energy
When a light is turned on energy from electricity changes into?
gas
What is a way that sunlight can be turned into electricity?
Solar Energy
Can solar energy be turned into electricity?
yes solar energy can be turned or converted to electricity by grid connectivity. where in you can produce energy and also can sell like how it happens in most places in Europe and in the US.
What kinds of energy can be transformed into electricity?
Everything can be turned into electricity using the right technology.
How can mechanical energy be turned into electricity?
A generator turns mechancal energy into electricity, bicycle headlights use this principle and cars do the same..
How Is renewable energy harmful?
Renewable energy is not really harmful in any way. When it is turned into electricity it can kill you, like all electricity.
What happens to electricity when you turn on an elactric lamp?
you use up energy and it is turned into heat
The energy released from a nuclear power plant is released as?
From the nuclear reactor comes thermal energy (heat), which is then turned into electricity.
How can steam be turned into usable energy?
The steam can be used to turn a generator's turbines and make electricity.
What a generator produces?
A generator, such as the ones used in renewable energy resources, produce electricity when its turned by a turbine.
Does a motor have electrical energy in it?
An electric motor need to be supplied electricity to operate. It can be made to generate electricity if turned by an outside force when set up correctly.
What is the energy transformation to produce electricity using geothermal?
Geothermal energy plants use the natural heat (which is thermal energy) of the earth. Water turned into steam is used to turn steam turbines. This is a conversion of the thermal energy into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy of the turbine is coupled to a generator, and is converted there into electricity, which is electromagnetic energy.
