What is Electrical Energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons through a conductor, often used to power devices.

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion, which depends on the mass and speed of the object.

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state, such as a rock at the top of a hill.

What is Thermal Energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter, which is the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance.

Front

What is Chemical Energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like food or fuel, which can be released during a chemical reaction.

What is the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

What is an example of energy transformation in a lamp?

Back

In a lamp, electrical energy is transformed into thermal energy (heat) and then into light energy.
