Can You Store Electricity for Later?
If we don''t use it, it goes to waste. That''s because we can''t store electrical energy. How can we avoid wasting it? Well, we can convert it into other forms of energy that can be stored. For example, batteries can convert electrical energy into chemical potential energy. Other systems can convert electrical energy other types of energy.
