It isn't. Saying that some physical object is any type of energy is completely misleading. A stove is a piece of metal, not some sort of energy.
An object may use, produce, or transformdifferent types of energy.
If it is a gas stove it will use kinetic energy from a chemical reaction, adding it as potential energy (molecular motion) to the molecules of whatever is heated. In an electric stove, electrical energy becomes radiant thermal energy, some of which becomes potential energy in whatever is heated.
The heat energy from the stove, which in turn comes from the burning of the chemical energy in the gas that is burning, or from the electrical energy, depending on the type of stove.
heat and chemical energy
gas
No, a stove does not have mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is the sum of an object's kinetic and potential energy, which is associated with the motion and position of the object. A stove primarily uses thermal energy to heat objects, not mechanical energy.
The kettle uses heat energy. Depending on your type of stove, that heat will usually come from chemical energy (in a gas stove), or electrical energy (in an electrical stove).
convection
A stove top gives off energy through the conduction of heat.
The stove itself is not but if it is a wood burning stove, when it is used, the conversion of wood into heat is the conversion of chemical into thermal energy
If it is a gas stove it will use kinetic energy from a chemical reaction, adding it as potential energy (molecular motion) to the molecules of whatever is heated. In an electric stove, electrical energy becomes radiant thermal energy, some of which becomes potential energy in whatever is heated.
The source of energy in stoves is HEAT ENERGY
The heat energy from the stove, which in turn comes from the burning of the chemical energy in the gas that is burning, or from the electrical energy, depending on the type of stove.
heat and chemical energy
Heat. (by convection and radiation)
gas
It is a chemical energy process.Charcoal (ie.carbon) is burned down to produced carbon dioxide and heat is liberated.
No, a stove does not have mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is the sum of an object's kinetic and potential energy, which is associated with the motion and position of the object. A stove primarily uses thermal energy to heat objects, not mechanical energy.
