Energy Stores and Transfers
Revision Monkey・2 minutes read
Various types of energy stores exist, from chemical and thermal to kinetic and potential energy, with energy transfer following the law of conservation of energy. Wasted energy is transferred to the surroundings as heat, while energy can also be transferred through electrical, sound, and light means.
Insights
- Energy can exist in various forms like chemical, thermal, kinetic, gravitational potential, and elastic potential energy, each stored differently in objects.
- The law of conservation of energy dictates that energy can be transferred between these stores, ensuring the total energy before any transfer equals the total energy after, with wasted energy often manifesting as heat and transferring to the surroundings.
