watts or kilowatts

are used to measure power, which is how quickly energy flows, and electrical energy is measured in kilowatt-hours.

A kilowatt-hour is also known as a Unit of electrical energy, and it is the amount of energy used when a power of 1 kilowatt flows for 1 hour.

When coal is burned energy is being converted to energy?

When coal is burned, chemical energy stored in the coal is converted into heat energy. This heat energy is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.


Burning fuels which energy converted into heat energy?

When fuels are burned, chemical energy stored in the bonds of the fuel molecules is converted into heat energy through the process of combustion. This heat energy can then be used for heating, cooking, or to produce electricity in power plants.


When you burn a fossil fuel what is the potential energy converted to?

When you burn a fossil fuel, the potential energy stored in the fuel is converted into kinetic energy, heat, and light. This process releases energy that can be used to generate electricity, power vehicles, and provide heat for various applications.


When fuels are burned they transfer energy what type of energy is in the fuel and what energy is it converted into when its burned?

When fuels are burned, they contain chemical potential energy, which is converted into thermal energy (heat) and light energy (flame) during combustion. This process releases energy that can be harnessed for various purposes, such as generating electricity or powering vehicles.


What form of energy does coal make?

Energy cannot be 'made' or 'destroyed'. It can simply be transformed to a different type of energy. Coal contains chemical energy, which will for example, be converted to heat energy in say a coal fired industrial boiler.

How is uranium transformed into useful energy?

Uranium fission with thermal neutrons release an enormous quantity of energy; this heat is converted in electricity.


What is the difference between electricity and electrical energy?

Electricity is the flow of electrons, while electrical energy is the magnitude of the electricity times the duration.Comment'Electricity' is a generic title for a branch of science, and is not a quantity and so cannot be measured. Current is the flow of electrons, not 'electricity', and current x time is charge, not energy. 'Electrical energy' is simply a form of energy which can be measured by the work it can do.


How many volts does A banana have?

Foods has some Chemical Potential Energy which can be converted into electricity. Chemical potential energy that comes from food is called calories . since banana have calories it has small quantity of electricity.


how mechanical energy converted to electricity?

Well, electricity energy is an energy source. Mechanical energy is the energy of potential energy and kinetic energy. A machine that runs on electricity and uses mechanical energy as a result is the conversion. When energy is converted, a small part is converted into thermal energy, or heat energy. Electricity is also a type of potential energy, because it is stored energy.


What is the energy of water converted to electricity?
