The False Note: Debunking Common Energy Storage Myths

A. Thermal energy is stored in an oven. Thermal energy refers to the energy possessed by an object or system due to the movement of its particles, often manifested as heat. An oven does not inherently store thermal energy; rather, it generates or transfers thermal energy to cook food. In contrast, electrical energy can indeed be stored in a battery, mechanical energy can be stored in a spring, and chemical energy can be stored in the body as fat cells. Therefore, the statement about thermal energy being stored in an oven is false.
