Science Types Of Energy

Electrical Energy

Energy made available through the flow of electric current through a conductor.

Radiant Energy

Energy carried by light and other types of electromagnetic radiation.

Chemical Energy

Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds and is released during certain reactions.

Elastic Energy

Energy is stored in an object when it is compressed or stretched, like in a spring or rubber band.

Kinetic Energy

Energy of an object or a particle due to its motion.

Mechanical Energy

The sum of energy associated with the motion & position of an object.

Potential Energy

Energy an object has due to its position or stored energy.

Nuclear Energy

Energy released when atoms split (fission) or join together (fusion).

Thermal Energy

Energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms.

Sound Energy

Energy transferred through a medium by a longitudinal wave.

Gravitational Energy

Energy of an object due to its high position compared to a low one.
