Is a flashlight battery auto potential or kinetic?

The actual process of flicking the switch of the flashlight is kinetic energy, as there is movement involved. However, when the flashlight is now turned on, it will be producing light energy.


Is light potential energy?

almost everything has chemical, potential, and kinetic energy (the exeption being forms of energy itself). light is debated to have chemical, but it does have potential and kinetic energy. kinetic energy is motion and heat caused by brishing past things. light has that quality.


Would a light switch converts electrical energy?

No. A light switch merely allows energy to pass, or not to pass.


Is light energy a type of kinetic energy or potential energy?

i think potential...but dont quote me or anything


Is light kinetic or potential?

good answer but its none of them light energy is radiant energy


What is the abbreviation for potential energy?

light


What is the difference between potential energy and light energy?

They are two completely different things. Light energy is electromagnetic waves. (EM). Potential energy is the energy stored within matter.


Is potential energy what a light uses?

NopeNo, potential energy would be, for instance, a spring that is compressed. It could cause motion if released. It is stored energy. The light bulb uses electrical energy, which it converts to light and heat energy. potential energy is like when you wind up a torch or a radio

An unlit firecracker does it have potential energy?

Yes. Chemical potential energy. When you light it most (nothing is 100% efficient) of the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.


Energy exists in two states what are they?

Energy exists in many more than two states, but two are light energy and heat energy.


Where is the energy stored in a flashlight?

Energy is stored in the battery in a flashlight. When switched off, the energy is chemical potential energy. When you switch on, chemical reactions occur, the chemical energy is changed to electrical energy in the circuit, and then electrical energy is changed to light energy in the bulb.
