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 else can I help you with?
Who discovered that lightning was another form of electricity?
Benjamin Franklin is credited with discovering that lightning is a form of electricity through his famous kite experiment in 1752.
What did Benjamin Franklin prove?
Benjamin Franklin's experiments with lightning and electricity proved that lightning is electricity and that lightning rods can protect buildings from lightning strikes. His kite experiment demonstrated the connection between lightning and electricity.
How many natural form of electricity are there?
There is one natural form of electricity, which is lightning. It is a form of electrical discharge that occurs in the atmosphere during thunderstorms.
What is lightning a form of?
Electricity. Lightning is a stream of electrons traveling between the clouds and the ground. It's just like static electricity shock, but much bigger.
Does electricity make a lightning?
Do we harness electricity from lightning? No. It's a lot of electricity at one time, and it's too unpredictable to be cost effective to develop a means of harnessing it's power. Lightning rods simply transfer the electricity into the ground, so as to protect structures.
Who is the first person to prove that lightning is a form of electricity?
Benjamin Franklin was the first person to prove that lightning is a form of electricity.
What is a good form of electricity?
lightning
What is a dangerous form of static electricity?
lightning
What did Benjamin Franklin discover was a form of electricity?
Lightning
What are the forms of static electricity?
One such form is lightning
What is static electricity a form of?
Another form of static elecricity would be... lightning.
Is thermal energy required to form lightning?
No, lightning is just a big spark of static electricity.
How does lightning become electricity?
Lightning doesn't become electricity. Lightning already is electricity.
Is thunder electricity?
Thunder is not electricity itself, but rather the sound that results from the rapid expansion and contraction of air heated by a lightning bolt. Lightning is a discharge of electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm, which can produce the sound we hear as thunder.
Who discovered that lightning was another form of electricity?
Benjamin Franklin is credited with discovering that lightning is a form of electricity through his famous kite experiment in 1752.
What did Benjamin Franklin prove?
Benjamin Franklin's experiments with lightning and electricity proved that lightning is electricity and that lightning rods can protect buildings from lightning strikes. His kite experiment demonstrated the connection between lightning and electricity.
Is lightning is an example of static electricity true or false?
True. Lightning is a natural example of static electricity, which occurs when there is a build-up of electrical charge in the atmosphere that discharges in the form of a lightning bolt.
