The work that a system of bodies can perform as a result of the relative positions of their components, or as a result of configuration, is known as the potential energy of a system of particles.
Three major types of potential energies are-
Elastic potential energy: Elastic potential energy is Potential energystored as a result of deformation of an elasticobject, such as the stretching of a spring. It is equal to the work done to stretch the spring
Gravitational potential energy: energy possesed by the virtue of position(say with respect to earth)
Chemical potential energy: form of potential energy that can be absorbed or released during a chemical reaction.
