Electrical energy

Turbo generators provide the majority of the
world's electric energy
Electrical energy is energy newly derived from
electrical potential energy. When loosely used to
describe energy absorbed or delivered by an
electrical circuit (for example, one provided by an
electric power utility) "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.).
