In electrostatics, this quantity is defined as the work necessary to move one charge an infinite distance away from a nearby charge.
In electrostatics, this quantity is defined as the work necessary to move one charge an infinite distance away from a nearby charge. In mechanics, one type of this quantity is equal to one half times a spring constant times the square of the distance from equilibrium. Another type of this quantity is the "gravitational" type, and is equal to the mass times the (*) acceleration due to gravity times the height at which an object is located. For 10 points, name this type of energy which is stored in a system due to its configuration or position.
