    Energy Stores & Transfers

    Energy stores: kinetic, thermal, gravitational potential, elastic potential, chemical, nuclear, electrostatic, magnetic.

    Energy is transferred by: mechanical work, electrical work, heating, radiation.

    The law of conservation of energy: energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred between stores. In a closed system, total energy remains constant.
