What are energy diagrams used for?

Energy diagrams are tools used to analyze a system's energy and motion with respect to a scalar variable like position or time. They are typically used to represent the kinetic and potential energy within a system, in addition to a horizontal line that depicts the total mechanical energy of the system.

How can we draw an energy diagram?

If we can express the force between two interacting objects as a function of their separation, then we can draw an energy diagram by expressing the potential energy as a function of that variable.

What is the energy Sankey tool?

By using the Energy Sankey tool, created by Eurostat, you can easily visualise energy balances, see how much energy is imported or produced in the EU or in your country, find out where the energy is consumed and check out the principal renewable energy sources.

Why should you use Sankey diagrams?

Sankey diagrams offer precise quantitative analysis by directly correlating the width of arrows with energy quantities. Additionally, they allow for comparative analysis of different energy systems or scenarios, aiding in decision-making.

How to draw the energy graph of a system?

To draw the energy graph of a system, the following method should be used: For example, gravitational potential energy is attractive since it draws objects to the surface of the Earth (U g <0). Electric potential energy for charges with the same sign is repulsive, since like charges repel (U e> 0).
