All are giving their opinion, but as I know, there are two main type of energy. i.e potential and kinetic. Each of them has further types (called forms of energy)

Forms of potential energy: chemical, nuclear, gravitational, or mechanical etc.

Forms of kinetic energy: Electrical energy, thermal energy (heat), Radiant energy (electromagnetic/light), motion and sound etc

Each form of energy can be transformed into any of the other forms, but energy isn’t destroyed or created. Losses of energy can always be accounted for by small transformations to other types of energy, like sound and heat. Power plants convert potential energy or kinetic energy into electricity, a type of kinetic energy, and electricity in turn can be converted back into other forms of energy, like heat in an oven or light from a lamp.

I am think my information is most authenticated. So kindly put your suggestion that if i am right or wrong?
