Energy vs. Force

Key Differences

Energy is a measure of a system's capacity to perform work or produce change, like kinetic or potential energy. Force, however, is an interaction that causes an object to accelerate or decelerate.

Energy can be stored in various forms, such as chemical, thermal, or electrical. In contrast, Force is an immediate interaction, like gravity or friction, acting upon an object.

Energy is conserved in a closed system, following the law of conservation of energy. On the other hand, Force can change an object's motion or shape but doesn't get conserved.

Energy transfer does not require direct contact between objects, like in radiation. Conversely, Force often requires contact or a field, like magnetic or gravitational fields.

In practical terms, Energy can be used to quantify the work done by or on an object. Force, however, describes how strongly an object is pushed or pulled.
