Electrical energy is a form of energy derived from the flow of neutrons, the negatively charged particles in atoms. When loosely used to describe energy absorbed or delivered by an electrical circuit, "electrical energy" refers to energy which has been converted from electrical potential energy. This energy is supplied by the combination of electric current and electrical potential that is delivered by the circuit. At the point that this electrical potential energy has been converted to another type of energy, it ceases to be electrical potential energy. Thus, all electrical energy is potential energy before it is delivered to the end-use. Once converted from potential energy, electrical energy can always be described as another type of energy (heat, light, motion, etc.).

Why is potentials energy sometimes called stored energy?
Because it is. Gravitational potential energy is energy stored in the gravitational field, electrical potential energy is energy stored in the electric field, magnetic potential energy is stored in the magnetic field, etc.
Energy is a current carrying coil is stored in the form of?
electric field
What energy transformation takes place in the rotating of an electric fan?
Electric energy (stored beforehand) --> Mechanical energy (used)(causing fan to spin; producing wind)
How is energy stored in a electric fan?
An electric fan does not, normally, store any form of energy. It is a machine which works in response to energy supplied - at the time - and stop working when that energy supply is stopped.
How can stored energy change into active moving energy?
Stored energy can change into moving energy by transfering energy from potential energy to kinetic energy
What is the energy that is stored in lights?
Energy is not stored in lights (not electric ones at least). Energy is used by lights.
Can electric energy be stored?
Yes that's what batteries do.
Electric car uses energy stored in a?
In a battery.
Why is potentials energy sometimes called stored energy?
Because it is. Gravitational potential energy is energy stored in the gravitational field, electrical potential energy is energy stored in the electric field, magnetic potential energy is stored in the magnetic field, etc.
How can electrical energy be stored?
Electric energy can be stored in batteries, inductors, and capacitors.
For a coil with electric current where is the energy associated with the magnetic field of the electric current stored?
The Magnetic field itself can do no work and is a byproduct of the electric current. The energy is stored in the current or provided by whatever drives the current.
Is electric current stored anywhere?
Electric current is the movement of charge around a circuit and so cannot really be stored, however, the energy which it carries is stored in most things.
What sort of energy is stored in an electrical cell?
Stored Chemical energy, which is transfered into the electrical item, pushing the negative charge which is electrisity.
What is the difference between radiant energy and electric energy?
Radiant energy is energy related to radiation. Electric energy, on the other hand, is energy related to electricity - such as electrical currents, and stored charges.
Energy is a current carrying coil is stored in the form of?
electric field
Where is the energy stored in an electric car?
this site is bad In the batteries on board.
For a permanent magnet where is the energy associated to the magnetic field of the magnet stored?
For both the magnetic and electric (static) fields, energy is considered to be stored in the field.
