ELECTRICAL ENERGY
Try to think of how many times you used electricity today. How
many electrical appliances did you use? These are things that use
electricity, either from a plug in the wall, or from a battery.
Every
time you switch on a light you use electricity. Electricity makes
things work.
When we switch something on, the energy from the electricity is
changed into:
Heat for electric fires, cookers, toasters, irons,
electric blankets, hair dryers.
Light for your lights, torches, television
Sound for your radio and television.
Movement in food mixers, washing machines, fans.
These are just some examples of how electrical energy is changed
into different forms of energy in our homes. Can you think of some
more?
