# {{lb|en|physics}} The [[wikipedia:gravitational potential|gravitational potential]]: the [[radial]] (irrotational, static) component of a gravitational field, also known as the [[wikipedia:Newtonian potential|Newtonian potential]] or the gravitoelectric field.
# {{lb|en|physics}} The work (energy) required to move a reference particle from a reference location to a specified location in the presence of a force [[field]], for example to bring a unit positive electric charge from an infinite distance to a specified point against an electric field.
