Potential energy is when you do work against a conservative force. Examples are gravitational potential energy; the stored energy in a spring; chemical energy; and nuclear energy.
carrying water in a tub
Potential energy is the "energy of position" - work done against a so-called "conservative force". Examples include a compressed spring, gravitational potential energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy.
An example is sand on a beach stores the energy from the sun in it. A stretched spring has stored potential energy that is released when the spring is returned to its unstretched state.
examples of chemical energy are.. food, baterries, fuels, candles, etc.
Well, we know gravity is the pull on an object. Also, that potential energy is when an object is at the highest point. So, some examples of this would be when a roller coaster is at the very top, it is when it has the most potential energy, and gravity is pulling upon it.

Chemical potential energy are commonly found in batteries. So anything that uses batteries to produce heat can be examples. Here are some examples: Netbooks/Laptops (when turned on and not charging) Handphones. Another source of chemical potential energy is food. We eat food to keep our body warm because the chemical potential energy is converted into thermal energy by our body.
In a hydro plant the water has potential energy which turns to kinetic when it is allowed to fall into the turbine. Or in a gasoline engine or a jet engine, the potential chemical energy in the fuel is released by burning it and it results in kinetic energy of the vehicle.
