What is potential energy ? State its unit.

1.	What is potential energy ? State its unit.
Answer» The energy of a body at rest is called the potential energy. It is defined as follows : Potential energy of a body is the energy possessed by it due to its state of rest or position. Actually, it is the work spent in bringing the body to that state of rest or position. It is written as P.E. or U. The S.I. unit of potential energy is Joules.
