Energy stores Flashcards
Magnetic energy stores?
The energy stored when repelling poles have been pushed closer together or when attracting poles have been pulled further apar
Internal energy stores
The total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in an object
Chemical energy stores
Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds
Kinetic energy stores
describe the energy an object has because it is moving.
Electrostatic energy stores
The energy stored when repelling charges have been moved closer together or when attracting charges have been pulled further apart.
Elastic potential energy store?
energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object.
Gravitational energy store
Gravitational potential energy is stored in the gravitational field that exists between the two objects being considered
Nuclear energy store
Nuclear energy is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
What is energy?
The ability to do work ( movement power and light )
What is energy measured in?
Joules
What is the Law of Conservation Energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is an energy pathway?
An energy pathway is the way energy is passed from one store to another
What are the four energy pathways?
Heating- temperature difference
Electrical- electricity current against resistance
Radiation- waves such as light and sound
Mechanical- physically applying force
What is electrical power?
Electric power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred in an electrical circuit
What is the equation for electrical power?
Electrical power= current x potential difference
