Answer:
Batteries store potential chemical energy
That the swith releases it into kinetic energy to light the room.
Step-by-step explanation:
Energy comes in two main forms:
- Kinetic energy which is energy of moving object or motion.
2. Potential energy which is energy stored in object to be realesed to make effect. It can be stored in form of
- Chemical energy. This can be in fuels or food taken by human body or the battery.
- Gravitational energy. This is due to the gravity and the force pulling the object from a height.
- Elastic energy. It is energy stored in rubber bands and spring balances.
And there is much more....
Principle of conservation of energy says energy is not created nor destroyed but transferred from and object to another in different forms.
