Question

class 12 physics.... define potential, potential energy aur this type of questions​

Answer 1

In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.


In the case of a bow and arrow, when the archer does work on the bow, drawing the string back, some of the chemical energy of the archer's body is transformed into elastic potential energy in the bent limb of the bow. When the string is released, the force between the string and the arrow does work on the arrow. The potential energy in the bow limbs is transformed into the kinetic energy of the arrow as it takes flight.
Common symbols
PE, U, or V

Derivations from
other quantities
U = m · g · h (gravitational)
U = ½ · k · x2(elastic)
U = ½ · C · V2 (electric)

U = -m · B (magnetic)

Answer 2

EASY and SIMPLE words mein

potential- work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to that point is the electric potential of that point.

petential energy - energy possessed by the charge due to presence of any surrounding charge.

basically potential mein hum infinity se point ki ya point se infinity ki baat karte hai,

and potential energy mein hum kinhi do points ki baat karte hai.
