Various forms of energy and their interconversion
magnetic energy
- the energy possessed by iron or steel toattract or repel iron like substances
- when a magnet attracts iron towards itself
- this proves that it is capable of doing work
- inter-conversion
- in electric generator- mechanical interactswith magnetic enegy and changes intoelectric energy
mechanical energy
- definition
- with the exception of energy in fuels, allforms of kinetic and potential energy takentogether
- muscular energy
- posessed in the muscles of animals
- example-a mixi grinding something
- when an electric drill is used to bore a holein a wooden block, smoke starts rising-mechanical to heat energy
- when two stones are rubbed together-mechanical to light energy
heat energy
- the energy which causes the sensation ofwarmth or coldness
- when the heat changes the water to steamin a pressure cooker, the steam lifts theweight on top of the lid and whistles
- this shows that heat energy has thecapability of doing work
- inter conversion
- in steam engines- heat changes intomechanical energy
- preparation of chemical compounds-heatchanges into chemical energy
light energy
- the energy which causes the sensation ofvision
- when a strong beam of light falls on finedust then the dust moves
- this proves that light energy is capable ofdoing work
- when light falls on silver salts coated onphotographic plates- light to chemicalenergy
chemical energy
- it is a kind of hidden energy in the atoms ofelements or compounds
- chemical energy of petroleum changes intoheat energy as we use it
- in chemical energy changes into electricenergy
electric energy
- the energy which is produced due to themovement of electrons in good conductors
- used for running electric fans
- in electric fans- mechanical energy changesinto electric energy
sound energy
- the energy causes the sensation of hearing
- when an object breaks the sound barrierthe buildings will fall
- this proves that sound energy is capable ofdoing work
- when we speak in front ofmicrophones-sound to electric energy
nuclear energy
- the energy holding the nuclear particleswithin the nucleus of an atom
- when the nucleus of a heavy atom likeuranium or plutonium is smashed itreleases nuclear energy in the form of heator light energy
