What form of energy is formed when the comb is placed near the hair?

Static Electricity


Sometimes you hear someone say that a particular appliance uses up electricity What is it that the appliance actually uses up and what becomes of it?

An electric device does not "use up" electricity, but rather energy. And strictly speaking, it doesn't "use up" energy, but transforms it from one form to another. It is common to say that energy is used up when it is transformed to less concentrated forms--when it is degraded. Electrical energy ultimately becomes heat energy. In this sense it is used up. ------ I have a washing machine - I think it's a typical appliance - it uses electricity and water. But it does not "use up" any electricity or water - there is always more. Same for all of our other appliances. The clothes washer (above), dryer (gas and electricity), dish washer (water and electricity), microwave (only electricity). Popcorn maker (only electricity), toaster (only electricity), refrigerator (only electricity). Really, what these appliances "use up" is counter or floor space, especially the big ones.

Why is electricity not a fuel?

Any fuel converts chemical potential energy contained in the fuel into some other form of energy such as heat to make electricity. Electricity is not a substance so contains no chemical potential energy.
