Is there any cold energy?

Question

When we think of energy we think of heat, the sun is hot, electricity is hot, fire is hot, explosions are hot.

Is there any form of energy that is cold to our senses or instrumentation(especially without the concept of negative energy)?

Is there any energy that would not excite particles when passing through them?

Kinetic energy transfer aside, as it transfers and excites particles as it releases this energy, at least so far as I understand it.

Answer 1

Hello LUI,
when we talk of energy it simply means tendency to do work it has no relation with being cold or hot. it is a differrent matter that most of the energy we know is in the form of heat or heat evolving but we cannot catecogrise energy as hot and cold because there are certain type of energy which are neither hot nor cold for example energy stored in a body due to its position(potential energy) or kinetic energy can you imagine these energy as being hot or cold simply you cant. The energy keeps on changing from one form to another and therefore one of its form could be hot or cold depending upon the sitiuation.
I hope this could be of any use to you.
any way if you are also intersted in discovering things like then you are most welcome you are directly contact me on my email:

Not sure what you mean here. Energy is the ability to do work and you are citing various things that generate energy.

There are plenty of energy sources that don't involve heat in and of themselves or even in their conversion to useful work.

For example, light is not "hot", though it can heat things. But a photovoltatic cells (solar cell) can take light energy at room temperature and convert it to electricity.

The potential (positional) energy of a bowling ball at the top of a ramp is neither hot nor cold, but let the ball go and you can convert it into kinetic energy.

A cold river drives a mill or a turbine, giving up some of its energy in the process.

Chemical energy is released when one or more materials are converted into another form of lower energy, and there need be no significant heatr involved. Think firefly light (chemiluminescence) where chemicals are converted to light in the cold or mixing chemicals that generate a gas (think baking soda and vinegar) that drives a piston.

That help?

Answer 3

The only energy that is hot is heat. Gravitational energy is not hot, electrical potential is not hot. To answer you're question, except for heat, energy has no temperature. They can be converted to heat but they inherently have none.

Answer 4

Coldness is just a lack of heat like darkness is a lack of light.
