ENERGY
INTER ONVERSION Energy interconversion is the transformation of energy from one form to another. This is a fundamental principle in physics, and it plays a crucial role in many natural and technological processes.
by Prathee k, Siddhart h, Joel, Jashwin and Ankush What is Energy? Energy is the capacity to do work. Work is defined as the force applied over a distance. In essence, energy is the ability to cause changes or exert an influence. It exists in various forms, including mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical, and light energy.
Mechanical The energy associated with motion and position, such as kinetic and potential energy.
Thermal The energy related to heat, measured by temperature and associated with the random motion of molecules.
Electrical The energy carried by moving electric charges, such as in an electric current.
Chemical The energy stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules, released during chemical reactions. Chemical Energy into Mechanical Energy Chemical energy stored in fuels, like gasoline or food, can be converted into mechanical energy, which is the energy of motion. This conversion happens in engines, where chemical reactions release energy that drives pistons and wheels.
Chemical Energy Energy stored in fuel molecules.
Combustion Burning fuel releases heat and energy.
Mechanical Energy Energy of motion and position in moving parts. Electric Energy into Chemical Energy Electric energy can be used to drive chemical reactions, converting it into chemical energy. This is the basis of electrolysis, where electricity breaks down water into hydrogen and oxygen gas. This stored chemical energy can later be released by burning the hydrogen.

Light Energy into Chemical Energy Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in sugar molecules. This stored energy is then used for growth and other life processes.
