Energy stores and systems

    Cards (4)

    • Energy can be stored as:
      • Kinetic
      • Thermal
      • Chemical
      • Nuclear stores
    • What are energy stores related to an object's position in a field or its deformation:
      • Gravitational potential energy
      • Elastic potential energy
      • Electrostatic stores
      • Magnetic stores
    • How is energy transferred from one store to another?
      • Mechanically
      • Electrically
      • Heating
      • Radiation (including light or sound energy)
    • What does the rate of transfer of energy depend on?
      • Differences in temperature between the heat source and the object
      • Properties like the objects material or surface area
