What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like food and fuels.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter. It is the total kinetic energy of particles in an object.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object that is used to do work.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons through a conductor.

Front

What is radiant energy?

Back

Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves, such as light.
