Energy is the ability to do work or cause a change.
Work is done when you apply energy to an object and move it a certain distance.
There are different forms of energy:
Potential – energy due to position or structure:
- Gravitational
- Electrical
- Chemical energy – potential energy in chemical bonds
Kinetic – the energy of motion:
- Moving object
- Thermal or heat
- Light
The law of conservation of energy states that energy is never lost, but it can be converted from one form to another.
