Major forms of Energy

  • Kinetic energy
  • Potential energy - gravitational, elastic, electrostatic.
  • Thermal energy
  • Radiant energy
  • Chemical energy
  • Nuclear energy
On the microscopic scale, all forms of energy turn out to be either Kinetic or Potential energy

Energy can be transferred from one form to another, but the total amount of energy in the universe is constant. This is Energy conservation law.
