Energy Stores and Systems

• What is a system in the context of energy storage?

  A group of objects
• What defines a closed system?

  No material or energy escapes its surroundings
• Are most systems closed or open?

  Open systems
• What happens to a system when it undergoes change?

  Changes occur in how its energy is stored
• How is energy transferred within a system?

  Between objects within the system
• What can energy change from within a system?

  One form of energy to another
• What may happen to energy in an open system?

  It may enter or leave the system
• What is the significance of energy transformation in a system?

  It allows for different forms of energy to be utilized
• How does energy transfer affect the system's state?

  It can change the system's energy storage
• If energy is transformed from one form to another, what might occur?

  Energy may change its storage method
• Why is it important to understand energy systems?

  To manage energy resources effectively
• What role do objects play in a system?

  They interact and transfer energy
• How can energy be managed in an open system?

  By controlling energy entry and exit
• What is the relationship between energy and material in a closed system?

  Neither energy nor material can escape
• What is a characteristic of an open system?

  Energy and material can flow in and out
• How does a change in a system affect energy storage?

  It alters how energy is stored
• If energy is transferred between objects, what might change?

  The form of energy may change
• What does it mean for a system to be open?

  It allows energy and material exchange
• What is the definition of energy storage in a system?

  How energy is held within the system
• What happens to energy when a system undergoes change?

  It may be transformed or transferred
• How do changes in a system affect energy transfer?

  They can alter the method of energy transfer
• What might occur if energy enters a system?

  It may change the system's energy state
