What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter. It is the total kinetic energy of particles in an object.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the principle of energy transformation?

Back

The principle of energy transformation states that energy can change from one form to another, but the total energy remains constant.

Front

What happens when electrical energy is converted to thermal energy?

Back

When electrical energy is converted to thermal energy, it produces heat, as seen in devices like toasters and heaters.
