types of potential energy
Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state.
ACTIVE KINETIC 1 COMBINED POTENTIAL ENERGIES
Active Kinetic 1 devices often utilise more than one type of potential energy.

Types of Potential Energy:
Gravitational Potential Energy: Energy an object has due to its height.
Magnetic Potential Energy: Energy stored in magnetic fields due to orientation.
Elastic Potential Energy: Energy stored in objects stretched or compressed.
Chemical Potential Energy: Energy stored in chemical bonds.
Electrical Potential Energy: Energy stored in electric fields.
Nuclear Potential Energy: Energy stored within atomic nuclei.
Gravitational Potential Energy
The gravitational potential energy equation can be used to calculate an object's mass using the formula shown.
Formula: MGH = MxGxH
This type of Potential energy is due to the position of mass and its configuration relative to other objects with a potential to do work i.e provide motion energy.
Potential energy Movement
Displacement of Potential Energy enables harvesting of kinetic energy to produce electricity
When an object with mass is moved to a different position or configuration, the potential energy changes.
Is all Potential Energy the same?
No, for example the potential energy formula for elastic or nuclear does not include gravity.
Is the formula for Potential Energy ever different?
Yes, For example the potential energy formula for nuclear does not include gravity.
The M is the measure of KG, G represents the given force being Gravity and H is a measurement of availability represented as Height.
The µ is the measure of magnetic strength, B represents the given space the magnetic field occupies. and r is a measurement of Distance.
The 1/2 is the equation of linear force-displacement, K represents the given Constant of force N/m, and x2 is a measurement of Displacement occupied.
Using Potential energy.
Potential energy is used to represent the capacity for a certain object or system to perform work. Potential force is important in the mechanics of extracting electricity from motion energy, and is a cornerstone of physics behind any motion energy system.
Motion technology unlocks the ability to easily and reliably access this energy wherever in the universe we find movement.

1. Storage of electricity: Potential energy can be used to store electricity in devices such as capacitors and electrochemical cells.
2. Driving vehicles: The potential energy of a vehicle’s fuel is converted into kinetic energy when the vehicle moves.
3. Nuclear power plants: Nuclear power plants use the potential energy of nuclear fission reactions to generate electricity.
4. Heating systems: Potential energy in the form of solar energy can be captured and stored in batteries or as thermal energy in heated water systems.
