Energy carrier

Okay, so imagine you have a toy car. In order for the toy car to move, you have to wind it up using a key. The key has energy stored in it that is transferred into the springs inside the car, which makes it move.

Now, let's imagine this on a bigger scale. You have a house and you want to turn on the lights. To do this, you need energy to be transferred from a source like a power plant to your house. But how does the energy travel from the power plant to your house? This is where energy carriers come in.

An energy carrier is like a key that stores energy and can transfer it from one place to another. The most common energy carriers are electricity, oil, gas, and hydrogen. Just like the key stores energy that is transferred to the toy car, these energy carriers store energy that is transferred to our homes, cars, and other things that need energy to work.

For example, if your house runs on electricity, the energy carrier is the electrical wires that bring the energy from the power plant to your house. If you have a car that runs on gas, the energy carrier is the gas that you put in the fuel tank.

So basically, energy carriers are like keys that hold energy and can transfer it to the things that need it.
