Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position in a force field, or due to its configuration. It is a form of stored energy because it has the potential to do work when it is released. The potential energy of an object depends on its position in the force field, which could be due to its height, its distance from other objects, or other factors depending on the type of force field. Potential energy is a scalar quantity, meaning it has magnitude but no direction. It is measured in units of joules (J) in the International System of Units (SI).
