Explanation

Plato users

For the potential energy, statement 1 and statement 4 are correct.

The potential energy of the object the energy of the object in its steady position. When the object is at rest, the energy of the object in that condition is called potential energy.

Let us consider an electron having charge [tex]e[/tex] is moving the distance [tex]d[/tex] in uniform electric field E.

Its potential energy can be written as,

[tex]P = eEd[/tex]

Where P is the potential energy and E is the electric field.

Hence, the potential energy of the electron is associated with the electric field.

The electric force can be written as,

[tex]F =eE[/tex]

Where [tex]F[/tex] is the electric force, [tex]E[/tex] is the electric field and [tex]e[/tex] is the charge on the electron.

So, the potential energy can be written as,

[tex]P=Fd[/tex]

Hence, the potential energy is related to electric force.
