Mechanical, Electrical, Light, Thermal and Sound Energy
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| ENERGY | What is needed to do work or cause change |
| MECHANICAL ENERGY | Energy used to produced by a machine, moving parts or gears |
| ELECTRICAL ENERGY | Energy used to produce by the movement of electrons or charged particles |
| LIGHT ENERGY | Radiant energy that our eyes can see from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum |
| THERMAL ENERGY | Energy used that causes a transfer of heat, temperature or transfer heat between materials |
| SOUND ENERGY | Energy used that is produced from vibration that you can hear |
| POTENTIAL ENERGY | The energy an object has because of it's position or condition |
| KINETIC ENERGY | The energy an object has because of it's motion |
| CHEMICAL ENERGY | Energy that is stored in matter and that can be released by a chemical reaction. Example: Food |
| TEMPERATURE | A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance |
| RADIATION | Heat from Earth that radiates or transferred outward to space |
| CONVECTION | The transfer of energy by currents in a liquid or gas |
| SOLAR RADIATION | The sun's energy that reaches Earth by radiation |
| GEOTHERMAL ENERGY | Earth heat that is transformed into electrical energy |
| COMBUSTION | Thermal Energy is used to process products such as food, plastic and metal |
| STATIC ELECTRICITY | Electric charges that build up and are not moving. Opposite electrical charges attract to each other. |
| ELECTRIC CURRENT | The flow of charged particles over a wire path or conductor |
| CONDUCTORS | Wires made of metals, such as copper which allow electricity to travel through them |
| INSULATORS | Materials such as plastic, rubber or glass that prevent the flow of electricity. Other materials include; concrete and wood. |
| CIRCUIT | A complete pathway made of conductors through which electric currents can flow |
| SERIES CURCUIT | An electric current that has ONLY one path to follow to and from the energy source |
| PARALLEL CIRCUIT | A circuit that contains two or more paths for electric current to follow |
| PARTS OF A CIRCUIT | BATTERY, SWITCH, LOAD AND WIRE (conductor) and INSULATORS (plastic covering over wire) |
