Potential energy = mgh
∴ P.E. = m × h × g ‘
g’ is constant depends upon m and h
Two factors on which P.E. depends :
(i) Mass : greater the mass, greater is P.E.
(ii) HEIGHT ABOVE THE GROUND : Higher the height of body, greater is the P.E.

The potential energy of a body in the raised position depends upon the following two factors :
(a) The mass of the body: Greater the mass of the body, greater is the potential energy of the body.
(b) Its height above the ground : Higher the height of the body, greater is its potential.
