Energy in motion
Kinetic
Energy that is stored.
Potential
Potential energy due to an object's height.
Gravitational potential energy
Type of potential energy when an object is stretched.
Elastic potential energy
Type of potential energy created by a metal object that has a magnetic field.
Magnetic

Chemical
Form of energy by the flow of electrons.
Electrical
A group of elements working together as a whole.
System
