- The energy types can be sorted as follows;
Both; mechanical, electrical - Kinetic; electromagnetic
- Potential; nuclear, and thermal, chemical
What is kinetic and potential energy?
Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object because of its state, position, or condition. Potential energy can take many different forms. These include chemical, elastic, and gravitational potential energy.
Understanding kinetic and potential energy is essential to comprehending how systems and objects behave in a variety of physical phenomena. The sum of a system's kinetic and potential energies is its total mechanical energy.
