What are some examples of energy stores?

The energy of an object at height. Aeroplanes, kites, mugs on a table. The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. Uranium nuclear power, nuclear reactors. Learn about and revise energy stores, transfers, conservation, dissipation and how to calculate energy changes with GCSE Bitesize Physics.

What are some examples of energy stored in the nucleus?

Thunderclouds, Van De Graaff generators. The energy stored when an object is stretched or squashed. Drawn catapults, compressed springs, inflated balloons. The energy of an object at height. Aeroplanes, kites, mugs on a table. The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. Uranium nuclear power, nuclear reactors.

What are some examples of energy storage?

Runners, buses, comets. The energy stored when repelling charges have been moved closer together or when attracting charges have been pulled further apart. Thunderclouds, Van De Graaff generators. The energy stored when an object is stretched or squashed. Drawn catapults, compressed springs, inflated balloons. The energy of an object at height.

Can energy be created or destroyed?

Energy can be described as being in different ‘stores’. It cannot be created or destroyed but it can be transferred, dissipated or stored in different ways. Listen to the full series on BBC Sounds. The energy stored when repelling poles have been pushed closer together or when attracting poles have been pulled further apart.

What is energy stored in a chemical bond?

The energy stored in chemical bonds, such as those between molecules. Foods, muscles, electrical cells. The energy of a moving object. Runners, buses, comets. The energy stored when repelling charges have been moved closer together or when attracting charges have been pulled further apart. Thunderclouds, Van De Graaff generators.

Can magnetic energy be created or destroyed?

It cannot be created or destroyed but it can be transferred, dissipated or stored in different ways. Listen to the full series on BBC Sounds. The energy stored when repelling poles have been pushed closer together or when attracting poles have been pulled further apart. Fridge magnets, compasses, maglev trains which use magnetic levitation.
