Energy Transfer Examples - GCSE Physics

This video introduces how to deal with some energy transfer questions you may be asked, including some energy transfer examples. We need to be able to deal with how to describe the energy changes in energy stores for certain scenarios.

When you describe the changes in energy stores for a scenario, you must break the problem down into three parts:
1. Choose a clear start and end point
2. Decide which energy stores are involved in the process
3. Name the transfer processes that take place between the stores

There are eight different energy stores: Kinetic, Gravitational Potential, Elastic Potential, Chemical, Thermal, Magnetic, Electrostatic and Nuclear.

There are four different types of energy transfer: Heating, Electrical, Radiation (including sound, light and all electromagnetic waves) and Mechanical.

thank you so much! I usually have so much trouble trying to understand energy transferred but I completely understand it now, thank you!

I have a question for example in a kettle. Would it be: Energy from the electrostatic stores are converted to the thermal store of the kettles heating element this transfer is done by electrical work?

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
No, I'm never gonna give you up
No, I'm never gonna let you down
No, I'll never run around and hurt you
Never, ever desert you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
No, I'm never gonna give you up
No, I'm never gonna let you down
No, I'll never run around and hurt you
I'll never, ever desert you
