|
|
Nuclear Potential |
Energy stored inside the nucleii of atoms |
|
|
Elastic Potential |
Energy stored in compressed or stretched objects |
|
|
Electrical |
Energy of electrons moving through conductors - e.g inside power lines and cables |
|
|
Heat |
Energy that causes movement of particles in a substance |
|
|
Light |
