INTRODUCTION TO ELECTROCHEMISTRY
Energy is the ability to do work. The Law of Conservation of Energy
states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but is converted
from one form to another. There are two types of energy, potential
energy, which is stored energy, and kinetic energy, which is the energy
a body possesses by virtue of its motion. Hence, all energy is either
potential or kinetic, each of which has its own forms, as shown in
