Energy Store

Contents

Key Stage 3

Meaning

An energy store is a way in which energy can be kept in a system.

About Energy Stores

Energy Stores are associated with the movement or objects and position of objects in a field.
There are some energy stores you should know at this stage:
Thermal Energy Store

The energy store associated with the temperature of an object. The higher the temperature the more the particles vibrate and faster they move in the material storing energy.

Elastic Potential Energy Store

The energy store in stretched, squashed and twisted elastic objects.

Chemical Potential Energy Store

The energy in chemicals that can be released in a chemical reaction.

Kinetic Energy Store

The energy store of a moving object.

Magnetic Potential Energy Store

The energy store of a magnetic object in a magnetic field.

Electrostatic Potential Energy Store

The energy store of a charged object in an electric field.

Nuclear Potential Energy Store

The energy store associated with Nuclear Fuel.

Gravitational Potential Energy Store

The energy store of an object in a gravitational field.


Key Stage 4

Meaning

Energy stores are the different ways in which energy can reside in a system.

About Energy Stores

Energy Stores are associated with the movement of objects and position of objects in a field.
There are a number of energy stores that can be used to describe a system:
