Answer:
The source of energy or the reservoir of the optimum amount of energy to drive the different mechanism is termed as the Potential energy(P.E) in more simple terms. As the potential energy is possessed by the object due to its very position or the space which it covers at a certain height,h. Along, with that the value of gravity,g also plays a very significant role in the potential energy of the body. As we have the following equation to solve our problems,
- P.E= (mass of the object)×(height of the object)×(and the gravity).
As the object's height,h holds greater significance in the value of the potential energy of the object having some mass,m in a given space or area,A. While, the gravity plays a vital role in the total amount of the potential energy(tot P.E) that an object has in it. The S.I unit of the potential energy,P.E is Joules.
As, the energy,E is transferred from the point of higher potential or value to the point of lower value or level. Along, with that the potential between the different points or stages can also be due to the difference in the two different stages. While, the charges are moved from a region of higher value to the value of lower region or value of energy. As the movement of the charges from a point of reservoir to the sink is called as the current,I.
