What is a chemical energy store?
It is stored in the bonds between atoms
What is a kinetic energy store
It is stored in a moving object
What is a gravitational energy store
It is stored in an object lifted in a gravitational field
What is an elastic energy store
It’s stored in an object which has been stretched or squashed
What is a thermal energy store
It’s stored as the vibrations of an objects atoms
What is a magnetic energy store
It’s stored between attracting or repelling magnets
What is a electrostatic energy store
It’s stored between attracting or repelling charges
What is a nuclear energy store
It’s stored between the protons and neutrons of atoms
What is mechanical energy transfer
It’s transferred when a force acts between objects
What is a heating energy transfer
It’s transferred by vibrations passing between adjacent particles
What is a electrical energy transfer
Transferred by movement of charged particles
What is radiation energy transfer
It’s transferred as light or sound waves
What is efficiency?
