Energy

Energy is the capacity to perform work or produce change. It exists in various forms, including kinetic (the energy of motion), potential (stored energy based on position), thermal (related to temperature), chemical (stored in bonds of molecules), electrical (associated with electric charges), and nuclear (stored in atomic nuclei). Energy can be converted from one form to another, but according to the law of conservation of energy, it cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. Energy is a fundamental concept in physics and is essential for all physical processes and systems. It plays a critical role in powering ecosystems, machinery, and technology, impacting every aspect of life and the environment.
