| Elastic Potential Energy | potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object, such as the stretching of a string |
| electrical potential energy | a measure of them work required by an electric feild to move electric charges or the voltage per unit of charge |
| gravitational potential energy | energy an object possesses because of its posistion in a gravitational field |
| magnetic potential energy | the form of energy related not only to distance between magnetic materials, but also to the orientation, or alignment, of those materials within the field |
| electrical current | flow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in plasma. |
