Energy forms
In the context of
physical sciences
, several forms of
energy
have been defined. These include:
Thermal energy
popularly known as
heat
Chemical energy
Electrical energy
Radiant energy
commonly known as
light
energy
Nuclear energy
Magnetic energy
Elastic energy
Sound Energy
Some basic textbooks group all these forms of energy into two broad categories:
kinetic energy
and
potential energy
. However, some forms of energy resist such easy classification, as is the case with light energy. Other familiar types of energy (such as heat in most circumstances) are a varying mix of both potential and kinetic energy.
