Definitions Of Electrical Energy

1   Electricity: energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a 


conductor; "they built a car that runs on electric 


2    Electric potential energy, or electrostatic potential energy, is a potential energy 


associated with the conservative Coulomb forces within a defined system of point 


charges. The term "electrostatic potential energy" is preferred here because it seems 


less likely to be misunderstood.


3   The energy associated with electric charges and their movements.


4    The generation or use of electric power measured in kilowatt-hours, megawatt-


hours or gigawatt-hours


5       The quantity of electricity delivered over a period of time. The commonly used 


unit of electrical energy is the kilowatt-hour (kWh).
