Study Notes
Energy Overview
- Energy is the capacity to perform work.
- Essential for machinery and various processes.
Measurement of Energy
- Joule is the standard unit for measuring energy.
- Symbol for joule is J.
Forms of Energy
- Elastic potential energy: Stored in stretched or compressed materials.
- Chemical potential energy: Found in fuels, batteries, and food.
- Gravitational potential energy: Associated with objects raised above ground level.
- Kinetic energy: Related to moving objects; absent in stationary objects.
- Electrical energy: Present in circuits when current flows; can be converted to other energy forms.
- Light energy: Necessary for visibility and photosynthesis in plants.
- Sound energy: Allows for hearing and communication.
- Thermal energy: Provides warmth and facilitates cooking.
Potential Energy
- Potential energy refers to energy that is stored and not in use.
Specific Forms of Potential Energy
- Elastic potential energy: Found in materials that can be stretched or compressed.
- Chemical potential energy: Stored in chemical bonds within substances.
- Gravitational potential energy: Depends on an object's height relative to the ground.
Temperature and Heat Transfer
- Temperature measures how hot or cold an object is.
- Measured using a thermometer or temperature sensor.
- Thermal energy transfers from hot to cold areas.
Principles of Energy Conversion
- Energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed.
- Energy can shift from one form to another, keeping total energy constant before and after conversion.
Understanding Power
- Power measures the rate of energy conversion or transfer per second.
- Increased power results from converting or transferring more energy in the same timeframe.
