==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Potential energy''' is the [[energy]] of an [[object]] associated with its position in a [[Force Field|field of force]].
===About Potential Energy===
: For [[attractive]] [[force]]s the '''potential energy''' increases as the distance between the [[object]]s increases.
: [[Particle]]s in a [[gas]] have more '''potential energy''' than in a [[solid]] because the [[particle]]s are [[attracted]] to each other but further from one another.
: For [[repulsive]] [[force]]s the '''potential energy''' increases as the distance between the [[object]]s decreases.
