Electricity is a form of energy. In case of household appliances consumption of energy also takes into account the efficiency of its usage. No process is wholly (100%) efficient due to the ever present frictional losses. Efficiency decreases dramatically in reverse thermal engines (refrigerators) due to the low range of temperatures between the hot and cold reservoirs (normally the radiator of the refrigerator and the room temperature. Normal efficiency (theoretical) for such a domestic appliance is about 0.7% for the temperatures of 20oC in the room and 40oC at the radiator fins of the refrigerator Air conditioners also have similar efficiency for example an 18000 BTU A.C. (1.5 Ton) produces a cooling of 61.4 kilo Watts for a power consumption of 11,880 kilo Watts, again an efficiency of less than 1% Air conditioners thus use the largest amount of electricity in domestic appliances

What is the most powerful electricity source?
Nuclear power is currently the most powerful electricity source in terms of energy density and capacity to generate large amounts of electricity consistently. It relies on the nuclear fission process to produce heat, which is then converted into electrical energy.
What type of energy is used to run most refrigerators?
Electricity is the most commonly used energy source to run refrigerators. The electricity powers the compressor, which circulates refrigerant fluid through the system to cool down the interior space.
What is the most common insulator?
The most common electrical insulator is the plastic coating on electrical wires. Hope this helps!
What is the substance that build up energy from electricity?
Any substance that has an electrical resistance will convert electrical energy to heat - in other words, most substances. The exception are superconductors. A device specifically designed to dissipate electrical energy is called a resistor or resistance.
What kind of device could be used to convert the detected heat to electrical signal?
Shower, Iron (for ironing), an electrical stove, an incandescent light bulb (most of the electricity gets converted to heat), a cigarette lighter in a car, ...Shower, Iron (for ironing), an electrical stove, an incandescent light bulb (most of the electricity gets converted to heat), a cigarette lighter in a car, ...Shower, Iron (for ironing), an electrical stove, an incandescent light bulb (most of the electricity gets converted to heat), a cigarette lighter in a car, ...Shower, Iron (for ironing), an electrical stove, an incandescent light bulb (most of the electricity gets converted to heat), a cigarette lighter in a car, ...
What product is used to make the most electricity?
Coal makes the most electricity - 49 percent in the US
Is there electric in Africa?
Yes. Many African nations have become industrialised over the past century and most, if not all African countries have electricity. Of course, large uninhabited or extremely rural areas of Africa would not have electricity. South Africa is the country in Africa that produces and consumes the most electricity.
What is the most produced product in the US?
The most produced product in the US is electricity, followed by refined petroleum products and chemical products.
Can copper wire would be a good conductor of electricity?
Yes, copper wire is an excellent conductor of electricity due to its high electrical conductivity. It is commonly used in electrical wiring and transmission of electricity due to its efficiency in carrying electrical current.
Is it true that most of your electricity comes from generators?
All of the electricity that is on the electrical grid comes from generators. The prime movers of the generators is what differs.
Is copper a good electricity conductor?
Yea it is! That is why most of electrical wires are made of Copper!
What is the best known insulator of electricity?
The most common electrical insulator is the plastic coating on electrical wires. Hope this helps!
What product is more likely to have the MOST elastic demand curve?
Household electricity
What is the most common fuel the mitochondria consumes?
Glucose is the most common fuel the mitochondria consumes.
Which plant consumes the most CO2?
The plant that consumes the most CO2 is the giant sequoia tree.
What is the most exported product from the US into Mexico?
Machinery, electrical equipment and parts.
Why copper is most widely used metal in electrical application?
Because it is a good conductor of electricity.
