What do we mean by magnetic energy store?

The energy stored when repelling magnetic poles are pushed closer together, or when attracting magnetic poles are pulled further apart.

What do we mean by thermal energy store (also known as 'internal energy store')?

The thermal energy store refers to how much energy a substance has, it includes two stores of energy:


1The kinetic energy store

2The potential energy store

(you don't need to know what the potential energy store is, just that it is part of the thermal energy store)
