Energy is a capacity to do some work...
Potential energy of a body is due to its Change in position , Size or Configration...
Change in Position means...If you change location or position of any body then it must posses potential energy...For example.. suppose there a box of mass 20 kg kept on the floor...if you lift that box upto some height..it means you are changing the location of that box...Due to this change in position of box...box posses Potetial energy...
This energy actually is transfered by the agent who do some work on that box..i.e, lift that box upto certain height...
Similarly if size of any body changes...it posses potential energy too...
