Some examples of forms of energy
Kinetic energy (KE)
Nuclear energy
Energy due to a body’s motion.
Energy associated with nuclear
reactions.
Potential energy (PE)
Energy due to a body’s position
Electrical energy
Thermal energy
Energy associated with electric
charges.
Energy due to a body’s
temperature.
Chemical energy
Energy associated with chemical
reactions.
Elastic energy
Energy stored in an object when it
is stretched or compressed.
All of the above forms of energy (and others) can
ultimately be considered to be variations of kinetic or
potential energy.

Conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can
only be transformed from one form to another
form.
Conservation of energy also means that the total
energy in the universe stays constant.
Energy Flow diagrams –
Copy please
Energy flow diagrams show energy
transformations.
Work done = energy transformed
For example, when a car brakes, its kinetic energy is
transformed into heat energy in the brakes.

Notice that the total amount of energy
before is equal to the total amount of energy
after (conservation of energy)
Efficiency
Although the total energy out is the same,
not all of it is useful.

Efficiency is defined as
Efficiency (%) = useful energy output x 100

Here is a more complex energy transformation diagram,
the sort used by engineers.
This one is for an aeroplane engine.
Question 1
Calculate the efficiency of an electric motor if it
produces 48J of useful kinetic energy when
supplied with 80J of electrical energy.
efficiency =
useful energy output
total energy input
efficiency = 48J
80J
x 100%
efficiency of the motor = 60%
x 100%
Question 2
Calculate the useful light output of a light bulb of
efficiency 20 % when it is of an electric motor if it
supplied with 400J of electrical energy.
efficiency =
useful energy output
total energy input
20 = useful energy ÷ 400J
useful energy = (20 x 400J)/100
light output = 80J
x 100%
Improving efficiency – Please copy
Decrease loss to heat by:
Reducing friction by using a lubricant (eg oil).
Reducing electrical resistance in electrical
circuits.
Reducing air resistance by using streamlined
shapes.
Reduce loss to sound by tightening the
loose parts of machinery.
