Energy Forms
• Chemical Energy
• Electrical Energy
• Radiant Energy
• Mechanical Energy
• Thermal (heat) Energy
• Sound Energy
• Solar Energy
• Nuclear Energy
Chemical Energy
•
Energy that is stored in chemicals
•
Type of potential energy
•
Energy is in the form of chemical bonds that are forces that hold the atoms
together in a chemical
Electrical Energy
•
Electrical energy is energy stored in a charged particle within an electric
field
•
•
Electric fields are areas surrounding a charged particle that exert a force on
another charged particle within the field.
Electrical energy is a type of potential energy
Radiant Energy
•
The energy of electromagnetic waves
•
Light is a type of radiant energy within the electromagnetic spectrum;
other types of electromagnetic radiation include UV, infrared, gamma, and
radio rays as well as X-rays.
Mechanical Energy
•
Mechanical energy is energy possessed by an object due to its motion or its
position.
•
comes in two forms: kinetic energy, in which an object has the ability to do work
when it moves, and potential energy, in which an object has the ability to do
work due to its position
Thermal Energy
•
Energy possessed by an object or system due to the movement of particles
within the object or the system
•
A type of kinetic energy
•
The faster the particles move within an object or system, the higher the
temperature
Sound Energy
•
Energy that is associated with vibrations of matter
•
A type of mechanical wave
•
Sound originates from the vibrations that result after an object applies a
force to another object
Solar Energy
•
Radiant light and heat from the Sun harnessed using a range of everevolving technologies
•
such as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture and
artificial photosynthesis
Nuclear Energy
•
Type of energy generated in nuclear reactions, and nuclear reactions are
reactions in which atomic nuclei are changed
•
Nuclear reactions are either fission (in which large nuclei are split into
smaller fragments) or fusion (in which small nuclei combine to form a larger
nucleus)
