New cards

gravitational potential energy

energy stored due to an objects position above the earths surface

  • eg, objects on a shelf

3
New cards

magnetic

energy stored in a magnetic field - created by moving electrical charges

  • eg. magnets attached to a fridge

4
New cards

electrostatic

energy stored in an electric field

  • eg. lightning charges building in a cloud

5
New cards

elastic potential

energy stored in an object that is stretched or compressed

  • eg. a stretched rubber band

6
New cards

nuclear energy

energy stored in the nucleus of an atom

  • eg. nuclear power plants for electricity

7
New cards

thermal energy

total kinetic energy of particles inside an object due to their random movements

eg. heat from an oven

8
New cards

chemical energy

energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules, released in a chemical reaction

  • eg. fuels - gasoline, diesel, petrol
