Select all the correct answers. Which statements about potential energy are true?

The statement gaining potential energy is always associated with a force field, is true about potential energy.

Explanation:

The energy acquired by an object due to its position is called potential energy.

Basically, a force field exerts a force that gives rise to potential energy of an object. For example, gravity, spring force etc.

This means that gaining potential energy is always associated with a force field.

A change in position does not always means that an object gains potential energy. For example, a spring will have more potential energy when it is compressed or stretched.

Hence, change in position of an object not necessarily means always gain in potential energy.

There are two types of potential energy that is, gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement gaining potential energy is always associated with a force field, is true about potential energy.
