Energy & Static Electricity Basics

When potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, the total amount of energy...

• is increased
• is decreased
• remains the same

The Law of Conservation of Energy states:

• energy may be created, and the total amount of energy increases
• energy may be destroyed, , and the total amount of energy decreases
• energy may not created nor destroyed, and the total amount of energy must always remain the same
