It's really the other way round - force affects potential energy. Potential energy is the RESULT (not the cause) of a force being required to move something - for instance, against the force of gravity or an electric field.

What is qualitative relationship between force and potential energy?
Gradient of potential energy gives negative force at that point.
Is potential energy in a screwdriver?
No, There's no potential energy in a screwdriver. It is just the turning effect of force.
Is potential energy is energy that is stored or available for use by body?
Yes. You can also think of potential energy as energy applied against some force, such as gravity, the force of a spring, etc.
How does mass and height affect potential energy?
Increased mass and/or height increase potential energy.
What kind of force is gravitational force?
Gravitational force is a form of potential energy
What will affect the amount of gravitational potential energy?
The mass, height and the force of gravity at the location.
When attractive force increases what happens to potential energy?
Potential energy will decrease.
Is gravitational force considered potential or kinetic energy?
Gravitational force is considered potential energy, E= -GmM/r.
What force causes Potential energy turn to kinetic energy?
Gravitational force is most commonly associated with potential energy.Whenever we lift an object (move it further from the earth's center), like taking it from the bottom of a hill to the top, or taking it from the floor and placing it on a shelf, table, or chair; we increase the potential energy of the object.
What is the potential energy stored in chemical compounds?
A potential energy is energy related to some (conservative) force. In this case, it is the electrical attraction between the atoms.A potential energy is energy related to some (conservative) force.

Can potential energy only be converted to kinetic energy?
by force
