Answer

  1. Energy of an object due to its position or arrangement in a system

Explanation:

The potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position.

some examples of potential energies are gravitational potential energy, Electrostatic potential energy and elastic energy etc.

A body placed at ground will have less gravitational potential energy than a body placed at some height. therefore, potential energy changes by changing the position of object.
