RG111002	Either increasing the charge of the plates in a capacitor or increasing the thickness of the insulating layer would change the amount of electrostatic potential energy.
RG112002	An engineer can increase the electrostatic potential energy of a capacitor by increasing the distance between the two plates.
RG115002	The electrostatic potential energy in a system of two oppositely charged particles is highest while the particles are separated and lowest when they are in contact.
RG116002	The electrostatic potential energy of the system of two positively charged objects decreases as the distance between then increases, and the kinetic energy of the moving particle increases and the distance increases..
RG125002	Decreasing the distance between two positively charges particles, increases the amount of electrostatic potential energy in the system.
RG126002	The electrostatic potential energy of a system of two oppositely charged particles decreases when the particles are moved closer to each other.
RG129002	Decreasing the distance between the two positively charged particles and increasing the magnitude of the charge of the particles would increase the amount of electrostatic potential energy in the system.
RG202001	Decreasing the distance between two positively charges particles, increases the amount of electrostatic potential energy in the system because potential energy increases when the distance between like particles decreases.
RG203001	Increasing the distance between two positively charges particles, decreases the amount of electrostatic potential energy in the system because potential energy decreases when the distance between like particles increases.
RG204001	Decreasing the distance between two oppositely charges particles, decreases the amount of electrostatic potential energy in the system.

Items associated with this NGSS statement in this project (ASPECt) and other key ideas
RG074002	When a paper clip is moving toward a magnet, the kinetic energy of the paper clip increases, and the potential energy of the magnet/paper clip system decreases.
RG133002	The gravitational potential energy of a system containing a planet and a moon would be greater after the distance between the moon and planet increases..
RG130002	Stretching a spring increases the elastic potential energy because the distance between the molecules that make up the spring increases, and forces between the molecules act to restore the molecules to their original separation.
NG052003	Energy is transferred mechanically if one object pushes or pulls on another object and the objects move.
RG076003	Energy can be transferred by magnetic forces on the moon because magnetic forces act at a distance even when there is no air. Energy can be transferred by forces that act at a distance as long as there is a change in position of either the magnet or the iron rod.
RG077003	When two pieces of tape repel each other, the potential energy that the pieces of tape have decreases as they are allowed to move apart and is converted into kinetic energy.
RG075003	When two repelling magnets are let go, some of the potential energy that the system of magnets had when they were being held close together is converted to kinetic energy when let go.
RG113002	As two oppositely charged object move closer to each other, the electrostatic potential energy of the system decreases, and the kinetic energy of the moving object increases.
RG101002	Energy is transferred when a magnet exerts a force on an iron object and the position of the object changes.
RG121002	Energy is transferred between to magnets only when the distance between the magnets changes.
RG122002	As two oppositely charge particles move closer together, the potential energy decreases, and the kinetic energy increases.
RG160002	As a meteoroid approaches the earth, the gravitational force field of earth causes some of the potential energy of the earth-meteoroid system to be converted to the kinetic energy of the meteoroid.
RG165002	For energy to be transferred between magnets, the distance between the magnets must change.
RG206001	When a battery is connected to a capacitor in a closed circuit, chemical energy in the battery is converted into electrostatic potential energy in the capacitor.
