What happens when you use electrical energy?

Answer 1

The sum total of all the chemical reactions in your body are referred to as metabolism. And all chemical reactions run on chemical energy. The main molecule of energy in your body, and all living things in general, is ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Answer 2

Current flows along the wires to the bulb. There is a potential difference (voltage) between the wires and across the filament of the bulb, and as electric charges (current) flow down the potential gradient in the filament, energy is released from the electromagnetic field and converted into heat. The temperature of the filament rises until it is incandescent so that it emits light. Unfortunately it also releases about 80% of the power as heat.

The power drawn from the supply causes the generator at the nearest power plant (if steam-driven) to require more torque to drive it, and it slows momentarily, so that initially the energy for the bulb is supplied from the kinetic energy of the rotating parts. The phase angle of the shaft begins to lag slightly as a result, and sensors detect the small difference and request more steam to supply the turbine. More steam flows in from the boiler to correct the change, and this in turn causes more fuel to be supplied to the boiler to restore the status quo.

Thus any power drawn from the supply causes more fuel to be burned and more CO2 to be exhausted into the atmosphere.

A power plant using hydroelectric power, for example, uses a higher water-flow to achieve a higher output power.

Answer 3

When you use electrical energy, it powers electrical devices such as lights, appliances, and electronic devices by converting the energy into various forms of work. The electrical energy flows through a circuit, creating a flow of charged particles (usually electrons) that generate heat, light, or mechanical motion, depending on the device being powered.

Answer 4

electrons move
