Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position, height, its state, nearness to a magnet, another body, or another electric charge or due to compression or expansion in its dimensions.
A stone at a height from the surface of Earth has a potential energy more than a stone on the surface. This is gravitational potential energy.
An electric charge in presence of another charge has a potential energy (the system of both has PE).
Potential energy is a relative energy wrt a reference.
Potential energy is the energy stored in a body as a result of some work done on it by an external force. It is the integral of force wrt displacement. Or, in simple words, it is the product of a constant force and the corresponding displacement.
Potential energy is the energy in a body that can be converted into another form like kinetic energy. For example if a clock is wound (key) or a spring is wound or if a torsional pendulum or string is turned many times, it has rotational potential energy.
Potential energy means that the body has potential to perform some energy.

What is Potential Energy?
An energy by virtue of an object's position relative to other objects.
- Symbols: PE
- SI unit: Joule (J)
- Formula: P.E. = mgh
N0TE: It is stored energy that can become kinetic energy.
