Is heat energy potential energy or kinetic energy?
It is kinetic energy of individual moving particles. It could be considered potential though, as in: the body with higher temperature has a potential to do work, passing its thermal energy to lower temperature body.AnswerNeither, 'heat' is simply the name we give to energy in transit from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
Does energy as heat flows from a lower temperature to a higher temperature?
Thermal energy that flows from a higher temperature to a lower temperature is called heat. Heat is energy that flows from one object to another, because of a temperature difference.
When an electrical charge moves from a higher potential energy to a lower potential energy does what?
when an electric charger moves from higher to lower potential energy, it supplies energy to us but when it is moved from lower to higher potential, we have to supply energy to it........... because every thing has a tendency to move from a point of higher potential to lower potential........
How is temperature related to particle movement?
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms and molecules (i.e., the particles) of the body with that temperature. By comparison heat is a measure of the total kinetic energy of the particles of the body containing that heat.
Why do particles of matter transfer thermal energy from hot to cold?
A heat pump is a machine or device that moves heat from one location (the 'source') to another location, using mechanical work. Most heat pump technology moves heat from a low temperature heat source to a higher temperature heat sink.
What is the energy that flows from one object with a higher temperature to one with a lower temperature?
It's the heat energy. "The energy can neither be created or nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another". If one system is with higher temperature and if another system of lower temperature is placed, the temperature gradually moves from higher to lower.
Why does heat energy always move from higher temperature to a lower temperature?
Heat energy moves from a higher temperature to a lower temperature due to the nature of conductivity. Cold surfaces can always conduct heat from a hot surface.
When an electron in an atom moves from a lower energy state to a higher state?
An electrons moves from lower energy to higher energy when it is excited.

Heat is a type of what that moves from where there is what?
Heat is a type of energy that moves from an area of high temperature to one of lower temperature.
What does the atom do when the electron moves from lower to higher energy level?
it loses energy
If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level electromagnetic radiation is what?
"Absorbed"
When excited electrons return to lower energy levels what is released?
Energy is emitted when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
Which term refers to the energy emitted when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower one?
neutron
Air moves from where pressure is higher to lower or lower to higher?
Higher to lower.
