Energy

Question 1

What is the magnetic energy store

Answer 1

The energy stored when repelling poles have been pushed closer together or when attracting poles have been pulled further apart
Examples:fridge magnets,compasses,maglev trains which use magnetic levitation

Question 2

What is the internal (thermal) energy store

Answer 2

The total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in an object, in most cases this is the vibrations-also known as the kinetic energy store of particles. In hotter objects, the particles have more internal energy and vibrate faster.
Examples:human bodies,hot coffees,stoves or hobs. Ice particles vibrate slower, but still have energy

Question 3

What is the chemical energy store

Answer 3

The energy stored in a chemical bonds,such as those between molecules.
Examples: foods,muscles,electrical cells

Question 4

What is the kinetic energy store

Answer 4

The energy of a moving object.

Examples: runners,buses,comets

Question 5

What is the electrostatic energy store

Answer 5

The energy stored when repelling charges have been moved closer together or when attracting charges have been pulled further apart.
Examples:thunderclouds, Van De Graaff generators

Question 6

What is the elastic potential energy store

Answer 6

The energy stored when an object is stretched or squashed.

Examples:drawn catapults,compressed springs,inflated balloons

Question 7

What is the gravitational potential energy store

Answer 7

The energy of an object at height

Example: aeroplanes, kites

Question 8

What is the nuclear energy store

Answer 8

The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.

Examples:uranium nuclear power, nuclear reactor
