No, it is wrong.

The Potential Energy is any type of stored energy. It can be chemical, nuclear, gravitational, or mechanical.

Sun has Gravitational Potential Energy.
The battery has Chemical Potential Energy.

Potential energy has the formula P = mgh, so can anyone relate this to this question?

Potential energy is defined when there is a flow of charge in between the poles (positive - negative), in the case of battery this happens.

Potential energy means the energy which we can get without any motion device.

Kinetic energy means the energy which we can get from any motion.
Eg: wind energy, moving water energy for making electricity etc.

So battery provides energy without any motion i.e. static.

So it potential energy.

the electrons formed due to chemical combination are at higher potential at cathode and thus find a path to return to a lower stable state, thus forming a potential difference between Cathode and Anode.

Tea-kettle Steam can also be used to generate Some Energy in different devices. Why not Consider Them.

A stationary object posses potential energy, so it is the battery.

Renu said:   1 decade ago
I agree that the example of potential energy is BATTERY.

Battery is the source of chemical energy. Chemical energy is the potential of chemicals hence potential energy.
