energy stores and systems

System

An object or group of objects

Kinetic

The energy of a moving object

Chemical

The energy stored in chemical bonds

Gravitational potential

The energy stored in an object when it is raised against gravity

Elastic potential

The energy stored when an object is stretched or compressed

Internal (thermal)

The total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in an object

Magnetic

The energy stored when repelling poles are pushed together or when attracting poles are pulled apart

Electrostatic

The energy stored when repelling charges are pushed together or when attracting charges are pulled apart

Nuclear

The energy stored in the nuclei of atoms

Mechanically

When energy is transferred by a force moving an object through a distance

Electrically

When energy is transferred by charges moving due to a potential difference

By heating

When energy is transferred due to a temperature difference

By radiation

When energy is transferred as a wave

Doing work

The scientific way of saying that energy has been transferred

Energy

The capacity to do work
