-
bolts of lightning can measure up to 3,000,000 volts and surprisingly it lasts less than one second
-
-
Thermal Energy
When thermal energy is transferred from or to an object, it's called heat
Thermal energy comes from a substance whose molecules and atoms are vibrating faster due to a rise in temperature
Unlike other forms of energy, thermal energy is difficult to convert to other forms of energy
-
Sonic Energy
-
sound produces such a low amount of energy, it is not used for electricity
-
-
Gravitational Energy
Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field
In other words, it is energy associated with gravity or gravitational force. For example, a pen being held above a table has a higher gravitational potential than a pen sitting on the table
When an object is held in a vertical position, it has gravitational potential energy because gravity is working to pull it down
-
Kinetic Energy
When an object moves, it possesses kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Accelerating an object from a rest position to a certain velocity takes energy, and the object maintains that energy as long as its speed doesn't change. But there are ways to harness kinetic energy to either generate useful mechanical work or electricity

Chemical Energy
-
Chemical energy is energy that is stored in the bonds between chemical compounds, such as atoms and molecules. An exothermic reaction is a form of chemical reaction when heat is produced as a by-product.

Nuclear Energy
-
Nuclear power plants have a relatively good safety record but there is strong debate about the potential risk they pose.
