WHAT IS ENERGY?
 Energeia is the Greek word for
“energy” which means
being at work.
Everything that we do involves
energy and our capability to do
work.
In fact, everything that happens
in the universe uses energy.
SUN
The sun is our ultimate source of
energy.
It is a huge, glowing sphere of
hot gas.
Most of this gas is hydrogen
(about 91%) and helium (about
8.9%).
0.1% are heavier metals such as
iron and nickel
KINDS OF ENERGY
1. Chemical energy
2. Thermal (heat) energy
3. Electrical energy
4. Mechanical energy
5. Nuclear energy
6. Electromagnetic energy
CHEMICAL ENERGY
It is the potential of a chemical
substance to undergo a chemical
reaction to transform into other
substances.
Examples are:
Photosynthesis: Changes solar
energy into chemical energy.
Food: Digested to convert chemical
energy into other forms of energy 6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide +
used by cells. water + energy from light produces glucose and oxygen.
THERMAL (HEAT) ENERGY
It is produced when a rise in
temperature causes atoms and
molecules to move faster and
collide with each other.
The energy that comes from the
temperature of the heated
substance is called thermal
energy.
ELECTRICAL ENERGY
Electrical energy is a form
of energy resulting from the flow
of electric charge. Energy is the
ability to do work or apply force
to move an object.
In the case of electrical energy,
the force is electrical attraction or
repulsion between charged
particles
MECHANICAL ENERGY
In physical sciences,
mechanical energy is the sum
of potential energy and kinetic
energy. It is the energy
associated with the motion and
position of an object.
NUCLEAR ENERGY
Originates from the splitting of
uranium atoms – a process called
fission. This generates heat
to produce steam, which is used
by a turbine generator to generate
electricity.
Because nuclear power plants do
not burn fuel, they do
not produce greenhouse gas
emissions.
NUCLEAR FISSION
It is a process in which the
nucleus of an atom splits into
two or more smaller nuclei
fission products, and usually
some by-product particles.
It is a product of elemental
transmutation.
ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY
Electromagnetic radiation refers
to the waves of the
electromagnetic field, propagating
through space, carrying
electromagnetic radiant energy.
Examples:
Radio waves
Microwaves
Infrared light, etc.
TWO TYPES OF ENERGY
RESOURCES
Renewable
energy
Non-renewable
energy
RENEWABLE ENERGY
RESOURCES
This resources can be repeatedly
used without getting depleted.
Examples are:
1. Hydroelectric
2. Wind power
3. Solar power
4. Geothermal
5. Biomass
NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY
RESOURCES
This energy resources can be
available in limited supplies
and eventually be depleted.
Examples are:
1. Fossil fuel (coal, petroleum,
natural gas)
2. Electrochemical (batteries)
