What does electricity have in it?

Electricity its self has no mass. It is the movement of electrons which create electricity and only these electrons have mass. It is like asking if the wind has a mass. If a tidal wave crashes into your boat, it won't do any damage, tidal waves have no mass. A tidal wave itself has no mass, water has mass, a tidal wave is just the movement of water. Stick your finger in an electrical socket and tell me it doesn't have any mass. Of course electricity has mass, of course water has mass. An electron has the mass of 9.10956 x 10 -31 kg. You would have to multiply that by the amount of electricity you have, and it can be stored (battery, capacitor). A fully charged battery weighs more than an empty (dead) battery. Electricity is a force and the equation of force (F), F=m(mass)xa(acceleration), therefore electricity has mass.

Does it cost more on the electricity bill to have your refrigerator and freezer empty or full?

It costs more to keep the fridge empty. Once all to the items in a stocked fridge get cold, they help maintain that cold temperature.AnswerIt's not differ. Once you set the temperature and stocked all items in both equipments, then after some time they automatically managed the temperature. We must need to use genuine electrical products. You can also use the solar energy products for getting lower electricity bills.

Do empty sockets use energy when left switched on?

No. You can think of the lamp (or whatever you put into the socket) as one more switch in parallel - if it is taken away, no current can pass through the circuit.


Do you get charged for having a socket outlet switched on?

In order to be billed for electricity, you have to have a flow of current. your electric meter is not unlike your water meter in this regard, it measures flow rate through it. An outlet that is not plugged in to anything that is on, or an empty socket that normally holds a bulb will not pass current. That means they are technically off. All a switch does is open an electrical circuit. To close a socket circuit you need a bulb. To close an outlet circuit, you need an appliance that is on (another switch may be involved).
