Concept Card: Gravitational & Elastic Potential Energy & Potential Curves 1. Fundamental Concept of Potential Energy ($U$): Potential energy is the configuration energy possessed by a system of interacting particles by virtue of their positions or internal strain relative to each other within a conservative field. Exclusive to Conservative Forces: Potential energy is strictly undefined … Read more

Summary: This is part of Lectures of the Topic Work, Energy and Power. You can check all lectures by clicking on the category link 1. The Prerequisite: Conservative Forces Before defining potential energy ($U$), students must understand conservative forces. A force is conservative if the work it does on an object moving between two points … Read more
