The wax in a candle can be thought of as having energy locked up in the chemical bonds which can be made available for use by lighting the candle. In that way it is "potential energy".
In a strict sense, however, potential energy for a candle would be restricted to how far you could drop it in a graviational field. In standard physics, the equation for potential energy P is:
P=mgh
where m is mass, g is the acceleration of gravity, and h is the height of the object (how far you can drop it).
the energy in flame of a candle is thermal energy.
More or less than what?
radiant energy
Electromagnetic
Chemical energy to thermal. Thermal to electrical
The candle itself isn't but the flame is thermal energy.
Candle wax is a form of chemical energy.
250-300 British Thermal Units (BTUs) in a standard candle like a tea candle. More or less with larger or smaller candles.
A candle has thermal energy because of it flames, the flames have heat and thermal energy is heat.
As a candle burns, it converts the chemical energy in the wax to heat and light energy.
a campfire would have bunches more energy
the energy in flame of a candle is thermal energy.
The candle itself isn't but the flame is thermal energy.
Candle wax is a form of chemical energy.
The wax in the candle contains chemical energy. When you burn the candle the chemical energy is transferred into heat (thermal) and light energy.
Potential energy is in an unlit candle, which is converted to heat energy, once the candle is lit.
There is no way to know from the question. Aniline dye would probably make it more dense, but I have no doubt that there are means to color a candle that would make it less dense.
Yes. a candle turns chemical energy into light.
water has the more energy. ice has less energy.
A burning candle produces thermal energy and light.
