Energy
Energy is the ability to do work, or the force that moves an object in the direction of the force. There are
various forms of energy, including chemical, thermal, electromagnetic, heat, mechanical, and nuclear.
Chemical Energy
Chemical energy is released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. This energy can be transferred from one
substance to another through chemical reactions, such as combustion or oxidation.
Electrical Energy
Electrical energy is the flow of electrons, or moving electrons. It is a form of energy that is often used to
power devices and machines.
Forms of Energy
There are two main types of energy: potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored
energy found in objects at rest, while kinetic energy is the energy associated with motion.
Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy is released when a nucleus breaks up into smaller nuclei or when smaller nuclei unite to
form a larger nucleus. This process involves the conversion of mass into energy, as described by
Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2.
