Potential energy

Potential energy is the energy stored in a system of objects that interact through a field. Analyze how the arrangement of objects affects the amount of gravitational, electric, and magnetic potential energy in a system. Investigate how attraction or repulsion influences the change in a system's potential energy, and recognize that elastic and chemical potential energy are fundamentally forms of electric potential energy.
