Energy stores

Cards (10)

  • Kinetic energy - movement of particles, the energy stored in the kinetic energy store of an object
  • Gravitational potential - The energy stored in a gravitational field per unit mass.
    Anything that is raised
  • Chemical store - energy stored by chemical bonds
  • Elastic potential - object being stretched, compressed, squashed
  • Nuclear Store - stored in nucleus of atom, released by radioactive decay
  • Internal store - sum of kinetic energy + potential energy store in chemical bonds
  • Magnetic - energy associated with magnetic field
  • Electrostatic - energy store when like charges more closer together / unlike charges pulled further apart
  • Like charges - repel
  • Unlike charges - attract
