electrical energy
Voltage times amperage
Electrical energy is energy carried by moving electrons or other charged particles.
It powers lights, appliances, and devices when current flows through a circuit.
The term appears in physics education and utility contexts: The solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy.
In everyday speech, people usually just say electricity or power.
