What is a measure of the amount of electrical energy transferred by an electric charge as it moves from one point to another in a circuit?
voltage. In fact, the energy transfer is given by the power multiplied by the time during which it acts. Thus the units are watts.secs, or multiples such as kilowatt.hours. One watt.sec = 1Joule.
Answer
Energy is not transferred to the load via the free electrons drifting through the wire. The 'conveyor belt' theory of electrons delivering energy and returning to the supply, depleted of that energy, is completely incorrect. This is because (a) charges (electrons) drift far too slowly (millimetres per hour) and (b) in the case of a.c., they simply vibrate back and forth. Energy is delivered external to the conductors probably via what is known as the 'Poynting's Field', a combination of the electrical field and the magnetic field.

How do the charges move?
Charges in a circuit move in response to an electric field created by a power source like a battery. This electric field exerts a force on the charges, causing them to move through the circuit. This movement of charges is what allows electrical energy to be transferred from the source to the electrical components in the circuit.
What is a associated with the kinetic energy of electricity?
The associated concept is electric power, which is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit. It is measured in watts and is dependent on both the current flowing through the circuit and the voltage across it.
What is a loop of electrical conductors called?
A loop of electrical conductors is called a circuit. It provides a path for electric current to flow.
What does current do in an electrical circuit?
Current is the flow of electric charge in an electrical circuit, carrying energy from a power source to the components in the circuit.
What is the function of the negative terminal in an electrical circuit?
The negative terminal in an electrical circuit serves as the point where electrons flow out of the circuit, completing the electrical circuit and allowing the flow of electric current.
How do the charges move?
Charges in a circuit move in response to an electric field created by a power source like a battery. This electric field exerts a force on the charges, causing them to move through the circuit. This movement of charges is what allows electrical energy to be transferred from the source to the electrical components in the circuit.
What is an electric circuit that controls another electric circuit through a relay?
Remote-Control Circuit. Any electrical circuit that controlsany other circuit through a relay or an equivalent device.
How do chemical energy is transferred in to electrical energy?
Chemical energy can be converted into electrical energy through a chemical reaction in a battery. When the battery is connected to a circuit, the reaction releases electrons, which flow through the circuit as an electric current, producing electrical energy.
What is a associated with the kinetic energy of electricity?
The associated concept is electric power, which is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit. It is measured in watts and is dependent on both the current flowing through the circuit and the voltage across it.
What is a measure of the amount of electrical energy transferred by an electric charge as it moves from one point to another in a circuit.?
Electrical energy is measured in the same units as any other type of energy, namely joules. The amount of energy PER UNIT CHARGE is measured in volt.
What is the function of a build in an electric circuit?
I have never heard of an electrical term "build" in an electrical circuit.
What is a loop of electrical conductors called?
A loop of electrical conductors is called a circuit. It provides a path for electric current to flow.
What is the difference between electric and electrical?
Pronunciation. An electrical circuit is the exact same as the electric system.
What is closed path throuth which current can flow?
An electric circuit.
What is an electric circuit in which the electric charges have only one path to follow?
It is a series electrical circuit.
What does current do in an electrical circuit?
Current is the flow of electric charge in an electrical circuit, carrying energy from a power source to the components in the circuit.
What happens to an electric current when a circuit is closed?
When a circuit is closed, meaning there is a complete path for the electric current to flow, the current will flow from the positive terminal of the voltage source through the circuit components and back to the negative terminal. This flow of current allows electrical energy to be transferred and work to be done in the circuit.
