Mechanical Energy and Electrical Energy
摘要
This chapter introduces mechanical and electrical energy. Mechanical energy can be broadly classified into potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy refers to the energy any object has because of its position in a force field. Kinetic energy is the work required to accelerate an object to a given speed. Mechanical energy due to the pressure of the fluid is known as pressure energy. This chapter discusses various forms of mechanical energy as well as electric energy.
