Electricity is a form of energy generated by the presence of charged particles such as electrons or protons, either statically, as a charge accumulation, or dynamically, as an electric current. Electrical energy can be potential or kinetic energy, but is usually encountered in the form of potential energy, which is energy stored due to the relative position of charged particles or electric fields. Electricity is a form of energy, i.e., the potential to perform work. Electricity in use is kinetic energy, and electricity is stored in its potential form most often in the shape of a battery. Electrical energy is derived from other sources, such as chemical and wind. Simply put, electrical energy is the energy (kinetic and potential) of charged particles of atoms, which can be used to apply force and/or do work. If enough charge is accumulated, electrical potential energy can be released to create sparks (or even lightning) with electrical energy. Electricity Rests as Potential Energy The next electricity to use is potential energy, which can turn into kinetic energy when you're ready to turn on your phone to use it. When you charge your phone, the electrical energy from the wall outlet to the phone's battery is kinetic energy. The generator, in turn, converts electrical energy into electrical energy, moving the charge already present in the generator, creating an electrical current. A battery is another source of electrical energy, except that the charge can be ions in solution instead of electrons in metals. Electrical energy is physically transported in electric and magnetic fields related to how electrical charges are arranged and moved, but can be easily converted into most energy services. Since positive and negative charges are the result of electrical energy, this means that magnetism is closely related to electrical energy systems. Any charged particle can participate in the production of electrical energy, including electrons, protons, nuclei, cations (positively charged ions), anions (negatively charged ions), positrons (the electron equivalent of antimatter), and more. How to Think of Electrical Energy The electrical energy of a set of stationary charges can be thought of as the work required to assemble the charges. Alternatively, it can be assumed that the energy is also contained in the electric field created by this set of charges. Energy and charge are two different things, so they cannot be electricity. Many reference books say that electricity is a type of energy and current is a flow of energy, but this is not entirely true. Many students know that electricity is produced in many ways, but often do not distinguish between the source or sources of this energy (solar, hydroelectric, or fossil fuels) and the types of energy that can be obtained from those sources; radiation and gravitational potential and chemical energy. Students know that we generate heat in our homes by burning wood, natural gas, or using electricity, but as shown by the idea of focusing on energy production and consumption reactions, they are often unaware that energy has been converted from electrical energy plus other forms of energy ( motion, heat, sound and light). Students become familiar with energy purchased in the form of gasoline, electricity or natural gas for use in cars or household appliances. For example, we use chemical energy in the form of a fuel such as wood or coal by burning a fuel such as wood. For example, power plants convert the chemical energy stored in fuels such as coal into electricity through various form changes. Instead of burning fuel, nuclear power plants use this thermal energy to convert the energy of atoms into thermal energy. Additional Forms of Energy This thermal energy is used to boil heavy water in the reactor core. Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds (atoms and molecules). Chemical energy is released in a chemical reaction, often as heat. Nuclear energy can be obtained in the process of fusion (combination of atoms) or fission (splitting of atoms). Electricity is created when an external force causes electrons to move from one atom to another. In physics, "work" is the energy expended by an object to move the object. As we discussed in the previous section, electrical energy results from the movement of electrons between atoms, which creates the transfer of energy... also known as work. The energy itself remains in the motion and configuration of the charge. Energy can be stored in capacitors; the energy needed to charge such a device is stored in it in the form of electrostatic energy in an electric field. This electrical energy can be used to power household appliances or to run pacemakers. Where Electrical Energy Comes From Electricity is often generated in power plants by electromechanical generators driven primarily by chemical combustion or nuclear fission heat engines, but also by other means such as the kinetic energy of running water and wind. Primary energy (such as wind or natural gas) is fed into a power generator to generate electricity for ease of use and transportation. Electricity is a secondary energy source because it is converted from another (primary) energy source such as coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear or renewable sources. Electricity is a renewable or non-renewable source of energy, but it is neither renewable nor non-renewable because it is a secondary source. Electrical energy is converted into many forms - mechanical / kinetic, sound, heat, light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation - using household appliances. Thermal energy is the energy possessed by a substance or system in relation to its temperature, that is, the energy of moving or vibrating molecules. Throughout history, most scientists have referred to the flow of electricity as "electric charge".
