save my exams physics energy stores and transfers

  • Energy Stores: There are several types of energy stores including gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, elastic potential energy, thermal energy, chemical energy, and nuclear energy.

  • Energy Transfers: Energy can be transferred from one store to another through various processes, such as conduction, convection, and radiation. Examples of energy transfer include a falling object converting gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, or a electrical appliance transforming electrical energy into thermal energy. Additionally, energy transfers can occur in systems such as mechanical systems, where energy is transferred via forces, leading to movement or deformation.
