The term autism came about decades before the disorder was recognized. Autismus, the New Latin word that autism is derived from, was coined by the Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Ble â¦ uler in 1910. He used the term as a descriptor of symptoms of schizophrenia.
Lesson Summary. Electric potential energy is the energy a charge has due to its position relative to other charges. By separating two charges to a radius r, you are giving the charges electric potential energy relative to each other. When you release those charges, they will attract or repel, releasing that energy.
2. An electric clothes dryer turns electrical energy from a wall outlet into heat (thermal energy) to dry your clothes as they spin. 3. A hair straightener turns the electrical energy from a wall outlet into heat (thermal energy).hen the energy is stored it is called electric potential energy and when it is moving in an electric current it is a form of kinetic energy. Our most common form of electrical energy is found in our wall outlets. Thermal energy is energy that results from moving atoms or molecules and is commonly referred to as heat.
