Batteries store potential energy, But after you connect it to the circuit then it converts to KINETIC ENERGY!
i have an i pod and it is kinetic.
its potential
potential energy
Well you can use energy by battery..
Kinetic energy being converted to chemical potential energy
chemical potential energy to electrical enery to kinetic energy
Think about a battery-powered motor. (Granted, the energy is originally chemical potential, but it is transferred to electrical potential when it comes out of the battery.)
The difference between potential and kinetic energy is that potential is energy that is waiting to be utilized, such as a battery, a car on a hill, or food. Kinetic energy is potential energy that has been put to use, so the electricity from a battery, a car rolling down a hill, and using food energy to run are all examples of kinetic energy.
Potential energy + kinetic energy = total energy. Potential energy is stored or positional energy; chemical energy stored in a battery, a large weight up high where we can get gravity to do work with it. Kinetic energy is energy of motion; energy = 1/2mv^2.
The chemical energy stored in a battery is a form of potential energy because it is stored in the chemical bonds of the battery's components (such as electrodes and electrolytes), and the energy is released when these bonds break during a chemical reaction. Kinetic energy, on the other hand, is associated with the motion of particles or objects, which is not the case with the chemical energy stored in a battery.
Potential and kinetic energy are related in that potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When an object has potential energy, it has the potential to move and therefore has the potential to have kinetic energy.
I think you mean Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy in motion. An example of kinetic energy is playing, jumping or walking. The other energy is called Potential energy. This is energy waiting to be used like a battery.
