Energy Stores Flashcards
Magnetic
The energy stored when repelling poles have been pushed closer together or when attracting poles have been pulled further apart
Thermal
The total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in an object in most cases this is vibrations of particles. In hotter objects, the particles have more internal energy and vibrate faster
Chemical
The energy stored in chemical bonds, such as those between molecules
Kinetic
The energy of a moving object
Electrostatic
The energy stored when repelling charges have been moved closer together or when attracting charges have been pulled further apart
Elastic potential
The energy stored when an object is stretched or squashed
Gravitational potential
The energy of an object of height
Nuclear
The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
2 types of energy
