Anything moving has energy in its kinetic energy store.

2
Thermal energy store
Any object. The hotter it is, the more energy it has in this store.You may also see thermal energy stores called internal energy stores.
New cards
3
Chemical energy stores
Anything that can release energy by a chemical reaction, e.g. food and fuels.
New cards
4
Gravitational potential energy store
Anything that has mass and is inside a gravitational field.
New cards
5
Elastic potential energy store
Anything that is stretched (or compressed) e.g. springs
New cards
6
Electrostatic energy store
Anything with electric charge that is interacting with another electric charge,.e.g. two charges that attract or repel each other
New cards
7
Magnetic energy store
Anything magnetic that is interacting with another magnet,.e.g. two magnets that attract or repel each other.
New cards
8
Nuclear energy store
Atomic nuclei have energy in this store that can be released in nuclear reactions

How can energy be transferred mechanically?
An object moving due to a force acting on it,.e.g. pushing, pulling, stretching or squashing.
New cards
10
How can energy be transferred electrically?
A charge(current) moving through a potential difference,e.g. charges moving round a circuit.
New cards
11
How can energy be transferred by heating?
Energy transferred from a hotter object to a colder object,e.g. by heating a pan of water on a hob.
New cards
12
How can energy be transferred by radiation?
Energy transferred by, e.g. light/sound waves
New cards
13
Conservation of energy principle
Energy can be transferred usefully,stored, or dissipated, but can never be created or destroyed.
New cards
14
Work done
Can be done by a moving charge or by a force ,owing an object through a displacement.

Investigating specific heat capacity
1. Measure mass of black. 2. Wrap it in an insulating layer. 3. Insert the thermometer and heater as shown. 4. Measure initial temp of block and set pd of power supply to 10v 5. Turn on power supply and start stop watch. 6. Take readings every 10 mins. 7. Usin measurements of current and pd you can calculate the power. 8. Then plot a graph 9. X- axis- energy transferred 10. Y-axis temperature
