How to destroy electricity?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
Consider if you have a new car. Someone comes with a sledge hammer and cracks a window and punches a hole in the side. All the pieces of your car are still there. Nothing has really been destroyed, if you count the glass shards and paint chips on the ground, it's just been rearranged. But the car is worth a lot less now, even if it it still a driveable car.





In the same way, you can convert electricity to a lower quality form of energy (heat), and it will lose much of its value. But the energy has not really been destroyed.

Electricity is a form of Energy, and energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can be converted from on form into another. So if you want to get rid of electricity there's no way to destroy it completely but you may allow the electric energy to be dissipated in a resistor which will convert it into another form if energy which is the heat produced.

Electricity is a sort of energy which cannot be destroyed. But we could change this energy into some other energy like heat,force,light....etc.

destroy electricity? that makes no sense, you can't destroy energy, all you can do is convert it to some other form of energy, such as heat.





And when electrical energy, electricity, is used, it does turn into other forms of energy, and eventually into heat, thermal energy. So using it will make it no longer electrical energy but some other form of energy.

Electric current is any resistor will turn into, but the energy is not destroyed.

electricity is energy so it can not be destroyed according to Einstein's principle of energy

You won't be able to _destroy_ it but you can change it into heat and/or light very easily. Other forms require a bit more equipment but heat and light you can do in your back yard.

The question is TOOOO general! generally you connect it to earth, in the case of something not otherwise connected to ground (earth) like a car battery you connect the opposite ends together creating a CURRENT flow until the difference is exhausted

"Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, just changed from one form to another".
