Energy Potential

Energy potential refers to the capacity or ability of a system to perform work due to its position or state. In physics, it is commonly associated with potential energy, which is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy or other forms of energy when released. Energy potential can be observed in various contexts, such as gravitational potential energy (energy stored due to an object’s height in a gravitational field), elastic potential energy (energy stored in stretched or compressed materials), and chemical potential energy (energy stored in the bonds of molecules). The concept is crucial for understanding how energy can be transformed and utilized in different physical systems.
