Question

Why is electrical energy considered as potential energy as its the energy of moving electrons?

Answer 1

Explanation: When the electrons move in another direction, they convert this chemical potential energy to electricity in the circuit, thus discharging the battery. So, the battery is all potential energy.

Answer 2

because when it is in the electrical state it isn't really doing much. like a battery. it isn't making light, heat, sound, our movement. thus it is potential energy. like a compressed spring its holding energy ready to be used but it is not using it. hope that helped you.
