Electrical energy: Energy generated by the movement of electric charges.

Chemical energy: Energy that is released or absorbed in chemical reactions.

Electromagnetic energy: Energy transported by electromagnetic waves.

Thermal energy: Energy caused by the movement of the atoms or molecules in a body.
