  2. Potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_energy

    Chemical potential energy is a form of potential energy related to the structural arrangement of atoms or molecules. This arrangement may be the result of chemical bonds within a molecule or otherwise. Chemical energy of a chemical substance can be transformed to other forms of energy by a chemical reaction. As an example, when a fuel is burned ...

  3. Outline of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_energy

    Energy transformation, relating to energy's changes from one form to another. Energy (signal processing), the inner product of a signal in the time domain; Energy density spectrum, relating to the distribution of signal energy over frequencies. Potential energy, the form of energy that is due to position of an object; Kinetic energy, the form ...

  4. Electric potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential_energy

    The electrostatic potential energy of a system of three charges should not be confused with the electrostatic potential energy of Q 1 due to two charges Q 2 and Q 3, because the latter doesn't include the electrostatic potential energy of the system of the two charges Q 2 and Q 3. The electrostatic potential energy stored in the system of three ...

  5. Energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy

    Forms of energy include the kinetic energy of a moving object, the potential energy stored by an object (for instance due to its position in a field), the elastic energy stored in a solid object, chemical energy associated with chemical reactions, the radiant energy carried by electromagnetic radiation, the internal energy contained within a ...

  6. Laws of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics

    If a system has a definite temperature, then its total energy has three distinguishable components, termed kinetic energy (energy due to the motion of the system as a whole), potential energy (energy resulting from an externally imposed force field), and internal energy. The establishment of the concept of internal energy distinguishes the ...

  7. Thermodynamic potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_potential

    A thermodynamic potential (or more accurately, a thermodynamic potential energy) [1] [2] is a scalar quantity used to represent the thermodynamic state of a system.Just as in mechanics, where potential energy is defined as capacity to do work, similarly different potentials have different meanings.

  8. Interatomic potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interatomic_potential

    where the three-body term describes how the potential energy changes with bond bending. It was originally developed for pure Si, but has been extended to many other elements and compounds [27] [28] and also formed the basis for other Si potentials. [29] [30]

  9. Electric potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_potential

    The electric potential and the magnetic vector potential together form a four-vector, so that the two kinds of potential are mixed under Lorentz transformations. Practically, the electric potential is a continuous function in all space, because a spatial derivative of a discontinuous electric potential yields an electric field of impossibly ...
