Quiz Description

Energy has always been known to be the capability of work being done, and in this quiz, we will see how energy and electricity relate to one another.  Studies show that studying energy and energy resources leads to better management of the economic resources especially as it is one of the most important inputs in economic development. In the course of this quiz, you will learn things like energy associated with electric charges, sources of energy that can be used to produce electricity, and even how these sources are used in the application for generating electricity.

Energy as earlier said is the ability to do work. Energy has several forms, namely electrical, mechanical, kinetic, gravitation, etc. These energy forms can be converted to another through various means, this is known as energy transformation.
We will now look into electrical energy.
Electrical energy is a type of kinetic energy caused by moving electric charges. This amount of energy depends on the speed of the charges, that is to say, the faster they move, the more electrical energy they carry along their path. In an electric system, electric energy is Mathematically generally given by,

Electrical energy=Electric power x time
Since Electric power =Electric Voltage x Electric current,
Electric power=V x I x t=VIt

On taking our quizzes, you will find out that this is just a summary of the topic but taking the quiz will be more effective as you will learn more things in detail from the quizzes.  Many other Physics quizzes are available on several topics, do well to check them out. In the meantime,
ENJOY!!!
