\subsection{Potential} \label{sec:potential}
|
|
Potential is the energy change that occurs when the position of an object changes \cite{potential}. There are many potentials, like electric potential, gravitational potential and elastic
|
|
potential. Let me explain the concept with an example. Say you are walking on a set of stairs in the upwards direction. As your muscles move to bring you one step upwards, energy that is used
|
|
by your muscles is converted into gravitational potential. Now imagine you turn around and go downwards instead. Notice how that is easier? That is due to the gravitational potential being
|
|
converted back into energy so your muscles have to deliver less energy to get you down. The potential is usually tied to a force, like the gravitational force. |
