that is stored

Detailed explanation-1: -Potential energy is stored energy and the energy of position. Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of chemical energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Potential energy is energy that is stored – or conserved-in an object or substance. This stored energy is based on the position, arrangement or state of the object or substance. You can think of it as energy that has the ‘potential’ to do work.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between potential and kinetic energy is that one is the energy of what can be and one is the energy of what is. In other words, potential energy is stationary, with stored energy to be released; kinetic energy is energy in motion, actively using energy for movement.
Detailed explanation-4: -The potential energy in the human body is stored in the form of chemical energy. The bonds and linkages between molecules are examples of potential energy. When these organic molecules break down, it gives energy to the body to do work. For example-glucose molecules release ATP when they undergo cellular respiration.
Detailed explanation-5: -Potential energy is the stored energy of position possessed by an object.
