This document defines and provides examples of different types of energy: - Chemical energy is stored in chemical compounds and released during chemical reactions, like in foods and batteries. - Electrical energy is produced by the flow of electric charge through wires in a circuit. - Thermal/heat energy is the transfer of energy between objects at different temperatures through movement of atoms and molecules. - Electromagnetic energy includes light, microwaves, radio waves, and television waves stored in electromagnetic waves or radiation. - Mechanical energy is the combination of potential and kinetic energy, like the energy stored in raised objects or moving objects. - Nuclear energy is stored in the nuclei of atoms and released through nuclear fission or fusion processes
