Compare electrical "current" to a river of water-and any size from the smallest trickel to the largest river.Now comparitivly speaking static would be as a collected pool of water(electricity) that is doing nothing-being "static".Now if equating getting wet with getting "a shock" either way ,finger in the river-or finger in the pool you will get wet both ways-as long as your body is toching ground at the same time.

∙ 11y agoElectrical energy is converted to light energy in light bulbs while electric power is the rate at which electrical energy is converted to another form of energy which is electric power.
AnswerPower is simply the rate at which energy is consumed or transferred. Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as 'electrical', or any other type of, power. Power is simply a 'rate'.Wiki User

How are geothermal and wind power similar?
They both convert kinetic energy to electrical energy.
How does a power plant transform energy in fossil fuels to electrical energy?
steps for power plant transform fossil fuels
What is geothermal energy source used for?
A heat source that may power turbines for mechanical energy and to power electrical generators for electricity.
Is voltage energy or power?
Power is the rate of energy transfer. Since a power station require energy source to generate electrical power and as the engine horse power would first required combustion of fuel, it is energy that give power. Answer: power is the rate at which energy is converted. So a 100 watt light used for 2 hours would use the same energy as a 200 watt light for 1 hour.
What are the energy transfer for fossil fuel power plants?
When a fossil fuel is burned chemical energy that is stored within the fuel is released via combustion. This then turns into steam which turns turbines to form electrical energy. So Chemical to heat to mechanical to electrical
What Electrical motors convert what power to what power to power?
Electrical motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.
What energy is used to power a computer?
The energy used to power a computer is Electrical Energy.
What is an example of kinetic energy changing into electrical energy?
an example to that is that kinetic energy changes with the help of work while electrical energy is by power like outlets etc. (almost related to potential energy think of it like that.)
Electrical energy is the energy of ________________?
Electrical energy is the energy in a current - which is basically related to moving charges.
The rate at which an electrical device converts energy from one form to another is called what?
The rate at which an electrical device converts energy from one form to another is called electrical power. The rate at which electrical energy is changed to another energy form electrical power.
How many watt power in horse power?
1 horsepower equals 745.69987 watts. Scroll down to related links and look at "Electrical Power" and "Energy".
What is the rate at which electrical energy does work?
electrical power
What is mechanical energy and how it is converted?
Mechanical energy is sum of the GPE the energy related to position and EPE the elastic energy related to position and the KE the energy related to motion and it is converted to heat energy and you can convert ME to electrical energy A generator is used to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. A motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.
How are electrical power and electrical energy related?
Power is always the time-rate of energy, i.e. the rate of change (or transfer) of energy with respect to time.If Energy is measured in Joules, then one Joule being transferred in one second is equal to one Watt of power.Electrical power is the time rate of change of electrical energy, P=dE/dt.Power = energy / timeIt usually referst to some type of energy transfer. In SI units:Watts = joules / second
What are the example of electrical?
An example of electrical energy is large electric power plants generate for electrical energy.
What does electrical engineering deal with?
technology is a study of how to put scientific knowlege to practical use and engeniering has to deal with design of electrical machinery of power plants for producing electric energy from steam,water er other power, and of wire networks for distributing this energy efficiently to costumers
A generator transforms?
A generator transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy.
