A to Z Formula

What is Dimensional Formula of Potential Energy?

Potential energy can be defined as the energy possessed by the body by virtue of its configuration or position.

Mathematically,
Potential energy (PE) = Mass(M) X Gravitational acceleration (g) X Altitude (h).

Dimensional formula of  Mass = M1L0T0
Dimensional formula of gravitational acceleration= M0L1T-2
Dimensional formula of altitude= M0L1T0

Putting this value in the above equation we get,

Dimensional Formula of Potential energy= M1L2T-2.

SI unit of Potential energy is Joule (J).
