Light Energy

The energy from luminous objects that reflects off surfaces into our eyes enabling us to see.

Heat Energy

Heat energy from the Sun keeps us warm. Heat energy is a result of most energy changes.

Sound EnergySound waves carry energy from one place to another through the vibrations of atoms and molecules.

Potential EnergyThere are several types of ‘potential energy’, that are

stored until they are converted into one of the

previous four types.

magnetic

nuclearchemicalstrain (or elastic)

Gravitational Potential Energy

The energy stored in an object because it has been lifted up to a height.

The object will have more energy if it is more massive or higher off the ground.

Electrical EnergyMost of the energy transferred in homes and industry is ELECTRICAL ENERGY because it is easily transferred as …

HEAT

LIGHT

SOUND

Energy ChangersIn our homes there are many energy changers. Here are some of the electrical devices that might be found at home.

Electrical energy => heat + light + kinetic + sound

Electrical energy => light + heat

Electrical energy => light + sound + heat

Notice that for each energy change, the most useful energy type is written first, and the energy that is wasted is written last.
