What words can describe electricity?

There are many key words to understand when discussing electricity. Electricity flows in a current. The unit of power of electricity is a watt which refers to the rate of work done. A volt is force at which electricity moves from its origin through a conductor and to the place of use.


How can electricity be stored?

In a way it can be. If a capacitor is connected to a battery, it will charge to the battery voltage. Then the capacitor can be discharged into a circuit to do work. But the capacitor doesn't store electrons, it stores an electrical field in the dielectric. If you mean storing the flowing electrons in a conductor, then they can't be stored except in a magnetic containment field such as in a cyclotron. A rechargable battery doesn't store electrons either, it stores energy in a chemical form which is converted to an electrical form when the battery is connected to a circuit.


In what type of circuit does electricity travel when it does work?

Electricity travels in a closed circuit when it does work.


Current electricity vs electrical current?

Current or "electrical current" (to distinguish it from current in a river) is the flow of electrons in a wire which can perform useful work. The current can be generated by a battery or a generator, or by other means. Current electricity is not a commonly used term. "Current electricity" is the science of electric currents, and it means the same thing as Electrodynamics. Example: the Electrical Sciences can be divided into two parts: Static Electricity or Electrostatics, and Current Electricity or Electrodynamics.

Which of these is associated with he kinetic energy of electricity?

Current is associated with the kinetic energy of electricity. It is the flow of electric charge carriers, such as electrons, through a conductor. As the current flows, it carries energy that can be used to do work.


How does electricity work in the field of physics?

Electricity in the field of physics is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, such as a wire. This flow of charge is caused by the movement of electrons, which are negatively charged particles. When a voltage is applied across a conductor, it creates an electric field that pushes the electrons through the conductor, creating an electric current. This current can be used to power devices and perform work.


How does aluminum work with electricity?

Aluminium is a good conductor of electricity.


When a switch is closed in an electrical circuit do electrons flow through the conductor?

Yes, when a switch is closed in an electrical circuit, electrons flow through the conductor, providing the electrical current needed for the circuit to work. The flow of electrons is what generates electricity and powers the various components in the circuit.

it is a metal and therefore a conductor.


Is electricity a way of transferring energy or not a store of energy?

Electricity is a way of transferring energy, not a store of energy. It is the flow of electrons through a conductor that can be harnessed to power devices and perform work. Energy is converted into electricity for transmission and then converted back into other forms of energy when used.


How do conductors work?

A conductor is needed in some ensembles to express the tone of the music being played! It also shows when the music is being played or not; you can tell this by the hand gestures!Hope I Helped :)


What happens if a nuclear power plant does not work?

It produces no electricity


What is energy associated with movement of electrons?

The energy associated with the movement of electrons is called electrical energy. When electrons flow through a conductor, they carry kinetic energy, which can be harnessed to perform work, such as powering electronic devices or generating lightning.
