Energy is the ability of a system to do work. That system may be batteries powering an electronic game system or windmills capturing wind energy to power a city. When an object or an organism does work, energy is transferred to another form. Work can be defined as the transfer of energy. There are two main types of energy, potential energy and kinetic energy. Provided here is an explanation of both types.
