What's the difference between energy and excitation?

Energy


Definition:

  • (n.) Internal or inherent power; capacity of acting, operating, or producing an effect, whether exerted or not; as, men possessing energies may suffer them to lie inactive.
  • (n.) Power efficiently and forcibly exerted; vigorous or effectual operation; as, the energy of a magistrate.

  • (n.) Capacity for performing work.

Excitation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of exciting or putting in motion; the act of rousing up or awakening.
  • (n.) The act of producing excitement (stimulation); also, the excitement produced.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Handing Greater Manchester’s £6bn health and social care budget over to the city’s combined authority is the most exciting experiment in local government and the health service in decades – but the risks are huge.
