Energy associated with the temperature of an object?
What is thermal energy?
In a flashlight, what type of energy transformation occurs to produce light?
Chemical energy from the batteries is transformed into electrical energy, which is then transformed into light energy.
What type of kinetic energy is produced by the movement of charged particles, such as electrons?
What is electric energy?
What type of potential energy is associated with the alignment and orientation of atoms and molecules in a magnetic field?
What is magnetic energy?
Energy produced by the flow of electrons.
What is electrical energy?
