Conservation of energy

Remember we talked about the different forms of energy:


  • Kinetic: energy as a result of motion
  • Potential: energy as a result of the position of a body
  • Chemical: energy stored in foods and chemicals
  • Mechanical: energy in a mechanical system
  • Light: energy of electromagnetic waves
  • Sound: energy as a result of the vibration of matter
  • Nuclear: energy released from nuclear fission or fusion
  • Heat: energy transferred by a difference in temperature
  • Electrical Energy: energy as a result of the flow of electric charge
Also, we talked about the Principle of Conservation of Energy which states:

Energy is neither created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another.

Here is a fun video about energy conversions:

(Hope you actually took some time to read the text)
Also, you can consider energy changes in electrical appliances such as radios, televisions. microwaves etc.

Your syllabus also requires you to know the importance of conserving electrical energy.


Here are some ways energy can be conserved:


Hope you enjoyed it :)
