Energy that is due to the position or condition of an object
What is Potential Energy?
Movement of electric charge from one place to another
Connection between poles of an electric energy source
What is a circuit?
Magnet that can be turned on and off at will
What is electromagnet?
Domains where iron is not magnetized
What is pointed randomly?
Ability to cause changes in matter
When you turn on a lamp, electrical energy changes this and it is a form of radiation

What is fission?
Form of potential energy stored in reactants
What is Chemical Energy?
When fuel is burned, chemical potential energy is converted to this
Interaction of electric charges
What is electricity?
Movement or transfer of thermal energy
What is heat?
Controlled chain reactions can be used to generate this
What is electricity?
Energy of motion
What is kinetic energy?
Energy contained in the bonds that hold the protons and neutrons of an atom's nucleus together
Transfer of thermal energy through liquids
What is convection?
This type of energy is stored in food
What is chemical potential?
One object is hotter than another object when particles do this
What is having more thermal energy?
Kinetic energy of the moving particles of a substance or object
What is thermal energy?
Law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Process of a nucleus breaking into two parts
What is fission?
This occurs when a fluid boils.
What is convection?
Energy is measured in this unit.
