Potential energy: energy that is stored within an object or system and has the potential to do work in the future.
Kinetic energy: energy of motion, possessed by an object as a result of its movement.
Thermal energy: energy that comes from the internal heat of an object, typically associated with the kinetic energy of particles within the object.
Conduction: the process of heat or electricity being transmitted through a substance without movement of the substance itself.
Convection: the transfer of heat through a fluid (gas or liquid) by the mass motion of the fluid itself.
Radiation: the transfer of heat energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Energy: the ability to do work or cause change.
Transformation: the process of changing one form of energy into another.
Chemical energy: a form of potential energy that is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.
Electric energy: the energy associated with the flow of electric charge.
Radiant energy: energy that travels in waves and is emitted or transmitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
Nuclear energy: the energy that is released through nuclear reactions, either through fission or fusion processes.
