    Study Notes

    Energy

    • Energy is the capacity of a physical system to do work.
    • The standard unit of measurement for energy is Joules.
    • Energy exists in two main forms: potential and kinetic energy.
    • Potential energy is stored energy and can be classified into various types:
      • Chemical energy stored within bonds of compounds.
      • Nuclear energy released during nuclear fission or fusion.
      • Gravitational potential energy due to an object's position relative to a lower point.
      • Mechanical potential energy, like that stored in a stretched spring or a compressed gas.
    • Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
    • Thermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and molecules.
    • Hotter objects have greater kinetic energy compared to colder ones.
    • Energy is classified based on various criteria like:
      • Primary and Secondary energy
      • Commercial and Non-Commercial energy
      • Renewable and Non-Renewable energy
    • Primary energy sources are directly found or stored in nature.
    • Common examples of primary energy sources include:
      • Coal
      • Oil
      • Natural gas
      • Biomass (like wood)
    • Other primary energy sources include:
      • Nuclear energy from radioactive substances.
      • Thermal energy from Earth's interior.
      • Potential energy due to Earth's gravity.
