Electrical energy
• It is the energy carried by moving electrons in an electric conductor.
• Electrons are forced down in a wire and the movement produces electricity.
• Electrons travel from one atom to another which makes the atoms imbalanced

Measurement
• Measured in Watts• Watts (LED- when turned on)• Watt-hours (Used for a longer time)• Kilowatts and Kilowatt-hours (Electricity bills)• Megawatts (electricity in an entire city)• Gig-watts (Large power plants)• US total electric capacity plants:1100 GW

Formula
• Energy transferred• Energy (J) = Power (W) x time (s)
• The power of a piece of electrical equipment depends on the voltage and current• Power (W) = Voltage (V) x current (A)
• Energy = Voltage x Current x Time

Uses
• Easy to transmit• Generated with AC or DC current• Lights• Air conditioners• Television• Computing• Water heating• Refrigeration

Examples
• Lightening (natural)• Too powerful to be confined in wires• Also an example of static electricity
• Dynamo, generator (Not natural)• Lamp (Light energy)• Heat in kettles, ovens etcetera (Heat energy)
