Internal energy.

Explanation:

In any substance/object, the particles inside it (atoms/molecules) constantly move in random directions and with random speeds (this motion is called Brownian motion). As a result, the particles have some kinetic energy (which is proportional to the temperature of the substance). Moreover, the particles interact with each other due to the presence of electrostatic intermolecular forces, and as a result, the particles also have some potential energy.

The sum of the kinetic energies and potential energies of the particles in a substance is called internal energy.

Internal energy would be the answer because it says the sum of energies "IN" the particles.

12. If a built-up charge isn't moving, we call it?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

When touching metal doorknobs, for example; electrons can jump and give you electric shocks. Static charges build up on clouds untl the cant hold any more charges, at that point, lightning can occur. The study of electricity is where charges are not moving, and this is called electrostatics
