: [[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.
: The '''potential energy''' [[Energy Store|stores]] you should know are:
:*[[Elastic Potential Energy Store]]
:*[[Chemical Potential Energy Store]]
:*[[Magnetic Potential Energy Store]]
:*[[Electrostatic Potential Energy Store]]
:*[[Nuclear Potential Energy Store]]
:*[[Gravitational Potential Energy Store]]
