Energy stores & Transfers (Edexcel GCSE Physics Combined Science): Flashcards

Stored inside nuclei of atoms

Stored in an object due to its heat

Stored by two charges attracting or repelling

Stored in chemical bonds between atoms and molecules

Stored by two magnets attracting or repelling

Stored in stretched or compressed objects

Stored by moving objects

Stored when object is raised above ground

Energy cannot be created or destroyed

Energy dissipated and stored in less useful ways

Reduces friction, less energy lost as heat

Reduces thermal energy lost from building

Heat travels through material more easily

Less energy lost as heat

$\frac{\text{Useful output}}{\text{Total input}}$
