Major Energy Forms
There are two major forms of energy, kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is energy in action. Potential energy is stored energy. It is inactive, but has potential to become kinetic energy. An example of this is when a dam holds water it has potential energy because the water has potential to move. When the dam lets go the water converts from potential energy to kinetic energy because now the water is moving energy. Along with these two energy forms there are four other energy forms; chemical, electrical, mechanical, and radiant, or electromagnetic energy. Chemical energy is energy stored. In the bonds of chemical substances. When chemical reactions occur, the potential energy changes to kinetic energy. Some energy is also stored in bonds called adenosine triphosphate, ATP. Chemical energy in the form of ATP is the most useful form of energy because it is used to run all functional processes. Electrical energy comes from the movement of charged particles. It is found in the charged particles, called ions, which move along along cell membranes and create electrical currents. Mechanical energy is energy found in moving matter. For example, when riding a bike, your legs provide mechanical energy to move the pedals. Radiant energy, or electromagnetic energy is energy that travels in waves. The waves are found in the electromagnetic spectrum and include visible light, infrared waves, radio waves, ultraviolet waves, and X rays.
