I believe electrical energy is considered potential energy and not kinetic. Kinetic energy is when an object is moving, electrical energy is a stored energy that can be converted to kinetic energy.

Some teachers will say that electricity is kinetic energy because it involves moving electrons. The problem with this is that the electrons' kinetic energy is not what provides energy to the light bulb or device. This is apparent when you consider that the electric current going into, say, the light bulb filament, is the same as the current going out of it. So that's not what's supplying the energy. The energy actually gets transferred by the electromagnetic field SURROUNDING the wires, not by the electrons IN the wires. So it's really misleading to say that electricity is a form of kinetic energy.

What is the potential and kinetic energy of a drought?
Potential energy is when a drought is beginning to form and Kinetic energy is when it is released by the potential energy, meaning it is releasing no water to the atmosphere.
When fossil fuels are burned what is coverted to kinetic energy?
A fossil fuel contains chemical energy. When it is burned this is turned into thermal or heat energy. This then may be converted into some other form including kinetic energy.
Is stored in a fossil fuel and released in the form of kinetic energy when burned?
Potential
What are the examples of object moved by electricity?
Answer #1:When electricity moves an object, it possesses kinetic energy. Examples of kinetic energy include planets orbiting the sun, wind, and a flowing river.========================Answer #2:None of those are moved by electricity.Objects moved by electricity include electric motors, the toner in a digital printer,the clapper in a doorbell, and bits of tissue picked up by a rubber comb..
What is stored in a fossil fuel and released in the form of kinetic energy when burned?
Potential energy, which is stored as chemical bonds in the hydrocarbon molecules.
Is light and electricity a form of kinetic or potential energy?
It is energy of moving electrons
Which form of energy is transferred from the wind to generate electricity?
Mechanical or Kinetic energy transferred to electrical energy.
Energy transfer diagrams?
heat ---> kinetic ---> electricity heat ---> kinetic ---> electricity
Which of these is associated with he kinetic energy of electricity?
Moving Electrons.
Is sound energy real?
Yes; sound is a form of energy just like heat, elastic potential, electricity, chemical energy and kinetic energy.
Can heat be a form of kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the movement energy of an object hence heat is a form of Kinetic energy.
What is the energy of water converted to electricity?
It is kinetic energy.
What type of energy does a windmill change into electricity?
Windmills convert wind energy (which is kinetic energy) into electricity.
What forms of energy are used to watch tv?
Electronic Energy. That electricity can be gained from Solar, Water and Wind though.
What is the energy of moving water converted to electricity?
It is kinetic energy.
Is there an explanation for children on how electricity is produced?
Electricity is NEVER produced. It only CHANGES from one form to another because it is a type of energy. e.g. Electric energy is CHANGED into kinetic energy to move my fan
When hydroelectric energy generates electricity because of the initial what energy is that?
Kinetic Energy
