Question

list all the storage forms of energy that forms of energy that you are familiar with. for each storage form, give an example of an object or situation that is storing this form of energy.

Answer 1

Storage form of energy:

• Potential energy
• Nuclear energy
• electrical energy
• thermal energy
• magnetic energy

Potential energy:

All stationary objects are having potential energy stored in it. This energy can be transferred in form of kinetic energy when it comes in the motion from rest. Example, An object placed at height h having potential energy in it. When it comes in motion from the rest the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Nuclear energy:

Nuclear energy is energy that is stored in nucleus of any element. Example, fusion reaction on sun gives earth solar energy.

Electric energy:

Electrical energy is due to movement of the electrical charges. Example, In elctrical batteries electrical energy is stored.

Thermal energy:

Thermal energy is the internal energy of a substance that is transferred to other substance in the form of heat. Example, on heating water is a beaker stem energy is developed.

Magnetic energy:

Magnetic energy is the potential energy stored in the magnetic field. Example, using magnetic energy electric field is produced according to Faraday's law.
