Kinetic energy is the energy produced due to the motion of objects.

Example: A body moving with velocity.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of objects.

Example: Any object placed at a certain height, h.

Thermal energy is the energy due to the temperature of the substance.

Example: Boiling water has thermal energy.

Chemical energy is the energy due to bonds formed between chemical compounds.

Example: Baking soda and vinegar when mixed form new chemical bonds that possess energy.

Nuclear energy is the energy due to the nucleus of atom.

Example: In nuclear fission and nuclear fusion energy is produced due to change in the nucleus.

Sound energy is the energy due to the vibration of objects.

Example: Tuning fork is one such example that produces sound.

Electrical energy: This energy is produced due to the movement of charged particles.

Example: Battery

Electromagnetic energy is the energy due to the emission and absorption of electromagnetic waves.

Example: Radio waves
