Energy: other forms
|
We could list a huge number of types of energy, but most will be different forms of the same thing.
Heat
This energy is transferred from hot regions, to cool regions because of the temperature difference between them.
N.B. Temperature is not a measure of heat. Instead it just gives an indication of the direction of heat flow.
Electrical
This is really just the kinetic energy of moving charges in an electrical circuit.
Electromagnetic
Energy is carried by electromagnetic radiation, such as light or gamma rays.
