Define the different types of potential energy.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) The energy possessed by the body due to gravitational force gives rise to gravitational potential energy.
(ii) The energy due to spring force and other similar forces give rise to elastic potential energy.
(iii) The energy due to electrostatic force on charges gives rise to electrostatic potential energy.
