energy stores and systems

Cards (11)

  • give different energy stores
    kinetic, thermal, gravitational potential, elastic potential, chemical, magnetic, nuclear and electrostatic
  • describe kinetic energy store
    energy stored due to movement of object
  • describe thermal energy store
    energy stored due to the temperature of object
  • describe gravitational potential energy store
    energy stored due to position in gravitational field
  • describe elastic potential energy store
    energy stored due to stretch or squash of object
  • describe chemical energy store
    energy stored in chemical bonds of object
  • describe magnetic energy store
    energy stored by attraction or repulsion of magnets
  • describe nuclear energy store
    energy stored inside nuclei of atoms
  • describe electrostatic energy store
    energy stored by attraction or repulsion of charges
  • describe specific heat capacity
    energy required to raise temperature of 1kg of substance by 1°C
  • describe power
    rate of energy transfer or work done
