the term potential energy refers to the energy stored in an object.
I am not quite sure what you mean; electric energy is measured in the same units as any other types of energy - typically the joule.
Heat from the sun evaporates water. Uneven heating of the earth's surface causes wind to blow clouds up into the mountains. Rain falls on the mountains and makes its way down the mountain into streams which fill the lake behind a dam.
When unlike charges are moved farther apart, they gain electrical potential energy. Electrical potential difference is the change in potential energy per coulomb of charge. Voltage is the common name for electrical potential difference and is measured in volts (V). Electrical energy depends on the amount of charge and voltage. Electrochemical cells, or batteries, are a common source of voltage. We use voltmeters to measure potential difference. :)
I believe kinetic and potential are two of them.Thermal energy- always flows from a warmer substance to a cooler substance.Mechanical energy- is the energy transfer from on object to another.Electromagnetic energy- is when electromagnetic energy interacts with matter, it can produce physical or chemical changes.Electrical energy- a moving electric charge produces electricity.Chemical energy- is transformed to other forms of energy during a chemical reaction for example candle burning the wax can change from thermal to chemical.
Stored energy
the term potential energy refers to the energy stored in an object.
Stored energy
I'm pretty sure it is the same thing as stored energy , Well That's what it says in my science book. Answer2: Another name for potential energy is scalar or real energy. Energy is a quaternion composed of a scalar part and a vector part.
Another name for heat energy is Thermal energy.

That's another name for something that is more commonly known as "voltage". It refers to the energy (work) required to transfer an electrical charge against an electric field. The unit, "volt", is equal to joule per coulomb.
