Quiz: Test Your Knowledge On Energy! - Quiz

Test your knowledge on energy with the below quiz that we have brought here for you. A simple definition of energy is, it is the capacity to do work, move an object by some application of force, or heat an object. Energy is a quantitative property that can be transferred from objects to objects and can take forms but cannot be created or destroyed. This quiz will ask you some essential points about the topic. Let's see how well you know.
