Question

all of the following are correct, except:
chemical energy is stored energy in molecules.
gravitational potential energy increases as an object moves further away from earth.
electrical energy is the movement of protons to create electricity.
thermal energy is also called heat energy.

Explanation:

• Chemical energy is indeed stored in molecules.
• Gravitational potential energy \(U = mgh\) (where \(m\) is mass, \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity, \(h\) is height). As \(h\) (distance from Earth) increases, \(U\) increases.
• Thermal energy is related to heat.
• Electrical energy is the movement of electrons (not protons) to create electricity.

Answer:

Electrical energy is the movement of protons to create electricity.
