1
New cards

Kinetic energy store

How fast the movement of an object is

2
New cards

Thermal energy store

How much heat a certain object contains

3
New cards

Chemical energy store

Found in all food to fuel humans and the energy stored within any chemicals e.g battery, fuel

4
New cards

Gravitational potential energy

The higher an object is above the ground, the greater it’s gravitational potential energy

5
New cards

Elastic potential energy store

The energy stored within a certain object when it is stretched or compressed

6
New cards

Electrostatic energy

The energy stored between two electric charges

7
New cards

Magnetic energy store

The energy stored between two magnets

8
New cards

Nuclear energy store

The energy contained within a nucleus or nuclear power

9
New cards

What is the unit of energy?

Joules

10
New cards

Define the law of conservation

Energy cannot be create or destroyed only transferred from one energy store to another

11
New cards

Energy transfers

Mechanical- when a force moves and object

Electrical- when electrical currents moves energy

Heating-when energy moves because of a temperature difference

Radiation- when energy is transferred by waves

12
New cards

What is the equation to calculate efficiency?

Efficiency percentage = useful output of energy

——————————- X 100

Total output of energy

13
New cards

What happens to wasted energy?

It is transferred to the surroundings

14
