Energy
What this topic asks you to be able to do
- Recall that energy can be held in the following stores: kinetic, gravitational potential, chemical, elastic (strain), nuclear, electrostatic and internal (thermal)
- Describe the way energy moves from one store to another in events and processes, including examples where it is transferred by forces (mechanical work done), by electrical currents (electrical work done), by heating, and by electromagnetic waves, sound waves and other waves
- Understand the principle of conservation of energy and use it when working through how energy shifts between stores in events and processes
