Talk:Potential energy
|
|
I assume electrical potential energy refers mainly to the energy gained by placing charges closer or farther apart than they would naturally be inclined to go? (You could probably state this more generally in terms of fields.) Does it also refer to electromagnetic radiation, e.g. light, or would that be "actual energy" instead of "potential energy"? --Ryguasu 00:19 Nov 21, 2002 (UTC)
