Forms of Energy

There are different forms of energy such as:

1. Solar energy: can be used to bring about electrical energy. It is gotten from the sun.

2. Heat energy: can be used to produce steam, used by steam engines to do work.

3. Light energy: when it falls on a light meter it is useful in photography.

4. Mechanical energy: (potential and kinetic).

5. Electrical energy: is used to drive the electric motor and for heating purposes.

6. Sound energy: it causes a microphone thin plate to vibrate.

7. Chemical energy: it is the energy stored in food and fuels.

All these forms of energy are convertible, that is, we can change energy from one form to another.
