Energy stores & Transfers (Edexcel GCSE Physics): Flashcards

Inside nuclei of atoms

Temperature - hotter objects have more thermal energy

Two charges attracting or repelling

Food, fuels, and batteries

Two magnets attracting or repelling

Stretched or compressed objects

Moving objects

Object raised above ground

Cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred

Reduces friction, less energy lost as heat

Heat travels more easily through material

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

Less energy lost as heat

Energy dissipated in less useful ways
