Radiant energy is converted to electrical energy, when a solar panel uses sunlight to provide power to a house.
<h3>What is electrical energy?</h3>
Electrical energy is produced when electrically charged particles move, producing energy.
Electrical energy is a general term that describes energy that has been transformed from electric potential energy.
Electric current and electric potential given by an electrical circuit serve as the source of this energy (e.g., provided by an electric power utility).
This electric potential energy stops being electric potential energy after it has been changed into another form of energy.
Because of this, all electrical energy is potential energy before it is used.
Electrical energy can always be referred to as another type of energy once it has been transformed from potential energy (heat, light, motion, etc.).
