There is 8 main types of energy stores.
Chemical Energy: Stored in chemical bonds of molecules (e.g., in food, fuel, or batteries).
Nuclear Energy: Stored in the nucleus of atoms; it’s released in nuclear reactions (e.g., in the sun, nuclear power plants).
Electrostatic Energy: Stored in the electric field between charged particles (e.g., in capacitors, or when static electricity is built up).
Gravitational Potential Energy: Stored in an object’s position relative to the Earth or another massive object (e.g., an object held at a height).
Elastic Potential Energy: Stored in stretched or compressed elastic objects (e.g., springs, rubber bands).
Magnetic Energy: Stored in magnetic fields (e.g., in magnets, electromagnetic devices).
Kinetic Energy: The energy of motion, stored in moving objects.
Thermal Energy: Stored in the internal energy of an object due to the motion of its particles (related to temperature).
