Concept explainers
Sometimes you hear someone say that a particular appliance 'uses up' electricity. is it that the appliance actually 'uses up,' and what becomes of it?
The product that the appliance “uses up” and its significance for electric appliance.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The significance for the appliances “uses up” electricity is the fuel that powers the generating station. The electricity flows to an appliance due to the current in the appliance. The current flow occurs due to flow of electrons. The electricity is uses up if the flow of electrons does not takes place due to no voltage difference.
The kinetic energy of the electrons that converts to heat or mechanical work and electrons going back to the plant have less energy and have to be refueled.
Conclusion:
The meaning for the appliances “uses up” electricity is the fuel that powered the generating station and it is used for refueling of energy to electrons.
