in an AC appliance (something with a plug, connected to a socket, connected to the national grid) the electrical energy is transmitted from the power station to your house/home.
take the example of a light bulb,
SCIENCE EXPLANATION the electrons in the wire are free and can move about they circulate round the completed circuit carrying energy and offloading it to where there is an absence of it. The light bulb takes the energy from the electrons and releases the energy again as Thermal and Visual energy into the atmosphere and the electrons continue around the circuit where they can pick up energy again.
SIMPLIFIED EXPLANATION when the switch is on the energy flows round and gives energy to the light bulb making it work.
if you have a question of what i just said send me a message on my profile
hope this answers your question

What is the importance of electrical energy?
It is used in modern society as the main method to transport energy. Also, many devices use the electrical energy directly, without further conversion.
What kind of energy does an electrical drill use?
That would be electricity.
What is the difference between electrical and mechanical devices?
Electrical degrees and mechanical degrees in dc motors are related by the equation: Deg(elec) = (Number of Poles/2) *(Deg(mech))
Devices that use semiconductors to produce electricity from solar energy are?
Photovoltaic cells
What does electrical engineering deal with?
technology is a study of how to put scientific knowlege to practical use and engeniering has to deal with design of electrical machinery of power plants for producing electric energy from steam,water er other power, and of wire networks for distributing this energy efficiently to costumers
Is there any equipment to convert electronic to electrical energy?
There is no such thing as "electronic energy". Electronic devices use normal electrical energy.
What types of electrical devices use the most energy?
the most common is light and heat
What is the importance of electrical energy?
It is used in modern society as the main method to transport energy. Also, many devices use the electrical energy directly, without further conversion.
What type of energy does Google use?
Google works on computers; those use electrical energy. So do the network devices used, such as switches, routers, etc.
What give power to a car battery?
Automotive batteries are simply electrical storage devices. They store electrical energy for use next time you need to start the engine. The ALTERNATOR turns mechanical energy into electrical energy to recharge the battery.
Why do Wii remotes need batteries?
WII remotes are electrical devices which consume power. All devices which use energy require a source for this energy. Wii decided that batteries made the most sense for the energy source.
How electrical energy can be conserved in homes?
By turning off lights or other devices you don't use and by installing energy-saving equipment (especially lights).
How do you power a space buggy without pushing it?
They're operated by the use of propulsion devices specially developed for the manned space program, in the form of packages that store electrical energy, called "batteries", and devices mounted to the wheels which convert the stored electrical energy into mechanical energy, code-named "motors".
Describe all the transformations that have taken place from ancient plants to the electrical energy you use today?
i have no idea bye
What do you use electrical energy for?
Electrical energy is used to do work for us by converting it into different forms of energy like mechanical, light, sound, heat energy with help of certain devices like motors. Thus electrical energy can be used to do virtually anything like using a fan or A.C. to power robots, space rovers etc.
What is the purpose of using a power Jack?
A power jack is used to transfer electrical energy to an electronic device for use. Often jacks are used on smaller devices that have lower electrical requirements.
Why you use electrical energy?
It is convenient to distribute and is needed to run electronic and electro-mechanical devices. It is also made and used in living organisms.
