The energy (not exactly electricity) stored in a battery is stored in the form of chemical energy. Chemical energy is a type of potential energy, since it depends on the forces between atoms.

Potential energy


How do you convert electrical energy into potential energy?

You can use the electricity to pump water up into a high reservoir, where it then has mechanical potential energy. Or store it in a battery - chemical potential energy.


Is electricity kinetic energy?

Kinetic if power is flowing, Potential if power isn't flowing. If you have a circuit with a battery and a light and everything is connected (the light is on). That's kinectic since the electrons are flowing through the circuit. A battery with nothing connected to it is potential energy because the power is going anywhere.Kinetic because electricity or electrical energy is a flow of small particles called electrons.Static electricity is a form of potential energy, as it is not flowing.Therefore it can be either (just like mechanical energy).Electricity is not considered to be either kinetic or potential energy; it is its own category, electrical energy.it is not kinetic, and it can become potential if it is stored in a body, such as a battery.kineticKinetic energy is if power is flowing and potential energy is if power is not flowing.If there is a completed circuit and electrons are flowing throughout the circuit, the electric energy is kinetic energy.If there is a battery that is not connected to anything, the electric energy is potential energy.

What is measure of potential energy in electricity called?

The measure of potential energy in electricity is called voltage. Voltage is the potential difference in electric charge between two points in a circuit, and it is measured in volts (V).


When electricity sis not moving but stored it is called?

Stored electricity? It's a form of potential energy I guess but it's still called electricity


How potential energy arises from the battery?

Potential energy in a battery arises from the chemical reactions occurring within it. When a battery is charged, chemical energy is stored in the battery in the form of potential energy. This potential energy is then converted back into electrical energy when the battery is connected to a circuit.


A battery stores what type of energy?

A battery stores chemical energy which is released in the form of electricity.


What energy is like a battery?

Potential energy because it is waiting to be used


What is the function of a battery in an electric circuit?

To provide electricity for the bulb to light up.


What if your friend says that when he measured how much electricity was provided by a battery it was less than the potential energy in the battery. he concluded that the transformation violated the la?

The missing energy is wasted energy, most of which will eventually get out of the battery (or other parts of the circuits) as heat.


What is the relationship between electricity and potential or kinetic energy?

Electricity is a form of energy that can be converted into either potential energy, which is stored energy, or kinetic energy, which is energy of motion. The relationship between electricity and potential or kinetic energy is that electricity can be used to create or transfer these types of energy.
