Electrical Energy | Electrical energy is energy resulting from the movement of electrical charges. |
Thermal Energy | Thermal energy is the internal energy in substances. Think of it as the movement of the atoms and molecules within a substance. This movement often generates heat, which is why thermal energy is thought of as heat energy. |
Radiant Energy | Radiant energy is energy that travels in electromagnetic waves, like that of the Sun. In a vacuum, like space, electromagnetic radiation moves at a speed of 3.0 x 10 m/s. |
