Electrical Energy
- Electrical energy is the energy associated with the movement of charged particles, such as electrons.
- Forms of electrical energy include:
- Static electricity (e.g., lightning)
- Electric current (e.g., flowing through a wire)
- Examples of electrical energy include:
- A battery powering a device
- A light bulb turning on
Thermal Energy
- Thermal energy is the energy of heat.
- Forms of thermal energy include:
- Internal energy (e.g., temperature of an object)
- Kinetic energy of particles (e.g., molecules moving in a gas)
- Examples of thermal energy include:
- A hot cup of coffee
- A fire burning
Chemical Energy
- Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.
- Forms of chemical energy include:
- Energy released in chemical reactions (e.g., combustion)
- Energy stored in fuels (e.g., gasoline, food)
- Examples of chemical energy include:
- A car engine burning gasoline
- The human body using energy from food
Nuclear Energy
- Nuclear energy is the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.
- Forms of nuclear energy include:
- Energy released in nuclear reactions (e.g., fission, fusion)
- Energy stored in atomic nuclei
- Examples of nuclear energy include:
- A nuclear power plant generating electricity
