Open in App
Solution
Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position or configuration.
In other words, potential energy refers to the energy which an object holds due to its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.
For example, an object possesses gravitational potential energy if it is positioned at a height above (or below) the reference level.
