The interaction energy usually depends on the relative position of the objects. For example, is the electrostatic interaction energy between two objects with charges, .

Famous quotes containing the words interaction and/or energy:
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker.

—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
