Other Forms of Energy
Thermal, chemical, electric, radiant, nuclear, magnetic, elastic, sound, mechanical, luminous, and mass are forms that energy can exist in.
Energy Transformations
Energy transformation occurs when energy is changed from one form to another, and is a consequence of the first law of thermodynamics.
Potential Energy Curves and Equipotentials
A potential energy curve plots potential energy as a function of position; equipotential lines trace lines of equal potential energy.
