The electricity you use in your home to turn on a lamp is produced by a power supply, such as a power plant. A switch allows the electricityturned on. The electrical energy is transformed to light and heat energy. ONOFFheatlightElectromagnetic EnergyElectromagnetic energy travels in waves that have both electrical and magnetic properties. The energy that is transferred by these waves is known as electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum shows the range of electromagnetic waves, including radio waves and visible light. electrical fieldmagnetic fieldMechanical EnergyMoving objects, such a soccer ball, have mechanical energy. The total energy of position and motion of an object is its mechanical energy. You can calculate mechanical energy by adding an object’s potential and kinetic energy. Chemical EnergyChemical energy is the potential energy stored in chemical bonds. When you eat food your body breaks down molecules of sugar within the food and creates chemical energy in the form of ATP. Other types of chemical energy include fossil fuels and explosives. When coal is burned, it produces energy that can be used to supply power.Thermal Energy Thermal energy refers to the energy created by the motion of the particles within objects. The faster the particles move, the more thermal energy they have. Water can be found as a solid, liquid or gas, depending on the amount of thermal energy that is present. The ice cube has the least thermal energy and the water vapor, with its fast moving particles, has the most.Nuclear EnergyNuclear energy is created when changes occur within the nucleus of certain atoms. An example is found in the Sun’s core, where hydrogen nuclear fusion reactions produce large amounts of nuclear energy, which creates the Sun’s heat.
