Energy Types

Energy types are different forms in which energy exists and can be used. Mechanical energy relates to movement and position, like a moving car or a raised weight. Thermal energy is heat, like from a fire or hot water. Chemical energy is stored in bonds, such as in food or batteries. Electrical energy powers devices and lights. Nuclear energy comes from atoms, used in power plants. Radiant energy is light, like sunlight. Each type can change into others, driving everything from heating a home to powering machinery. Understanding these types helps us harness and manage energy effectively.
