It is a form of energy that travels through space or other mediums in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This energy includes various types of waves, such as visible light, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, … Read more
The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked. Geothermal energy is the energy extracted from the heat stored within the Earth’s core. It is obtained by tapping into the natural heat reservoirs beneath the Earth’s surface, typically through drilling wells to access geothermal reservoirs. This heat energy can be found in regions with volcanic activity, … Read more
The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked. Electrical energy is a form of energy that is associated with the forces acting on electrically charged particles and their movement. It is generated by the movement of electrons from one point to another, creating a flow of electric charge. This flow of charge can occur in … Read more
The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked. Chemical energy refers to the potential energy that resides within the chemical bonds of substances. It is stored in these bonds and can be released or absorbed during a chemical reaction. When a chemical reaction takes place, the bonds between atoms are broken, and new bonds are … Read more
The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked. Kinetic energy refers to the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. It is defined as the work required to accelerate an object of a certain mass from rest to its current velocity. The amount of kinetic energy an object has is directly proportional to … Read more
The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked. Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. It can exist in various forms like gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, and chemical potential energy. The amount of potential energy an object has is determined by its position relative to … Read more
The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked. Thermal energy, also referred to as heat energy, is a form of energy that arises from the movement and collisions of atoms and molecules within a heated substance. The increase in thermal energy is a result of the substance’s elevated temperature, which causes its constituent particles to … Read more
The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked. In physics, energy refers to the capacity to perform work or bring about change. It is measured in joules (J). This concept aligns with the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; instead, it undergoes transformation from one form to … Read more
