Detailed explanation-1: -Elastic potential energy is energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object. The energy is stored until the force is removed and the object springs back to its original shape, doing work in the process.

Detailed explanation-2: -The deformation potential is defined as the linear displacement coefficient of the single electron band energy, or of the expectation value of the electron–phonon interaction potential.

Detailed explanation-3: -Potential energy is technically stored within matter, though a force must be applied to an object in order for it to store potential energy. However, while the energy itself is stored in the mass of the object, another force (gravitational or elastic) must be present to release the potential energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Imagine a rock at the top of a cliff. The rock has gravitational potential energy. Basically, the rock has the potential to fall because of gravity.

Detailed explanation-5: -Potential energy is stored energy and the energy of position. Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.
