Question

QUESTION 12 The following type of energy is stored as latent heat o Thermal energy 0 Chemical energy Electrical energy o Mechanical energy

Answer 1

Answer: Thermal energy

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of energy, energy remains conserved. It only transforms from one form to another.

Latent heat is the quantity of heat absorbed or released by a substance undergoing a change of state. Thus either heat is released or absorbed which either leads to increase or decrease in temperature.

Thermal energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its temperature.

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of molecules.

Electrical energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of movement of electrons.

Mechanical energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position and motion.
