Kinds Of Energy
Thermal energy
It is the part of the total internal energy of a thermodynamic system or sample of matter that results in the system temperature.
The thermal energy of asystem scales with its size and is therefore an extensive property. It is not a state function of the system unless the system has been constructed so that all changes in internal energy are due tochanges in thermal energy, as a result of heat transfer (not work). Otherwise thermal energy is dependent on the way or method by which the system attained its temperature.
Chemical Energy
It is thepotential of a chemical substance to undergo a transformation through a chemical reaction or, to transform other chemical substances.
Electric Energy
It is energy newly derived from electricalpotential energy. When loosely used to describe energy absorbed or delivered by an electrical circuit (for example, one provided by an electric power utility) "electrical energy" refers to energy whichhas been converted from electrical potential energy.
Potential Energy
It is a potential energy ,measured in joules, that results from conservative Coulomb forces and is associated with theconfiguration of a particular set of point charges within a defined system.
Radiant Energy
It is the energy of electromagnetic waves. The quantity of radiant energy may be calculated by integrating radiantflux (or power) with respect to time and, like all forms of energy, its SI unit is the joule. The term is used particularly when radiation is emitted by a source into the surrounding environment.Radiant energy may be visible or invisible to the human eye.
Nuclear Energy
It is the energy required to split a nucleus of an atom into its component parts.
Mechanical Energy
It is the sumof potential energy and kinetic energy present in the components of a mechanical system. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
The law of conservation of energy states that...
