Energy Flashcards
Magnetic
Energy stored when repelling poles have been pushed closer together or when attracting poles have been pulled further apart
Examples of magnetic energy
Fridge magnets or compasses or maglev trains
Internal (thermal)
The total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in an object in most cases vibrations
Examples of internal (thermal) energy
Human bodies, hot coffees, stoves or hobs
Chemical
Energy stored in chemical bonds
Examples of chemical energy
Food or muscles or electrical cells
Kinetic
Energy of a moving object
Examples of kinetic energy
Runners or buses or comets
Electrostatic
Energy stored from repelling charges have been moved closer together or when attracting charges have been pulled further apart
Examples of electrostatic energy
Thunder clouds or Van De Groove generators
Elastic potential
Energy stored when an object is stretched or squashed
Examples of elastic potential energy
Drawn catapults compressed springs or inflated balloons
Gravitational potential energy
Energy of an object at height
Examples of gravitational potential energy
Aeroplanes or kites or mugs on the table
Nuclear
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
