4. Electrical energy:

Electrical energy is the energy newly derived from electrical potential energy.
Electrical gadgets like bulb, fan, heater, air conditioner, etc. work with the help of
electrical energy.

5. Mechanical Energy:

Mechanical energy is energy due to the motion or position of an object. It is of two
types:
: Kinetic energy
: Potential energy

Kinetic energy:-

It is the energy due to the motion. A moving
object has kinetic energy. Energy of moving
water and wind are examples of kinetic
energy.

Potential energy:-                            Moving water

Energy due to the position of an object is called potential energy. For example, a box
kept on a height and a stretched spring have potential energy.
