Forms of Energy - Coggle Diagram

- - - - At a point, it is equal to the amount of work done by the force of attraction of the Earth in bringing the body from infinity to the point.
      - The gravitational potential energy is taken negative, as it is the work done by gravity itself.
      - Potential possessed by the body to the force of attraction of Earth on it
      - On increasing the distance of the body from the surface of Earth, the force of attraction of the Earth decreases and the gravitational potential energy increases, thus causing its negative value to gradually increase upto zero at infinite separation.
      - The gravitational potential energy of a body at a height above the ground is measured by the amount of work done in lifting it up from the ground to the height against the force of gravity.
