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.

How is wind energy stored and harnessed in a windmill?

Wind energy is harnessed in a windmill by the spinning blades turning a rotor connected to a generator that produces electricity. The electricity can be used immediately or stored in batteries for later use. Wind energy itself cannot be stored, but the generated electricity can be stored for later consumption.

Is nuclear energy stored?

Nuclear energy is not stored in the traditional sense, like electricity in a battery. Nuclear energy is generated through nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor. The heat produced during these reactions can be converted into electricity and stored in the power grid.


Why is the electricity stored inside a battery called potential energy?

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.
