Define potential energy. What are the differences type of potential energy |
|
Answer» Potential energy is the energy stored in a body due to its position or configuration.e.g. gravitational potential energy, elestic potential energy, electrostatic potential energy, magnetic potential energy, chemical energy. Any stored energy can be called the potential energy and it has the potential to do work.Examples of potential energy:1. When we wind up the spring of a toy car using a key, our muscular energy is stored in its spring. When this elastic potential energy is released the toy car moves.2. A stone placed at a height, water stored high up in the dams, etc. have gravitational potential energy. The enery possedby an object which is in rest or at a certain height |
