Potential Energy
potential energy
Because it is. Gravitational potential energy is energy stored in the gravitational field, electrical potential energy is energy stored in the electric field, magnetic potential energy is stored in the magnetic field, etc.
That is called gravitational potential energy. Sometimes simply "potential energy", and the "gravitational" part is implied.

Gravitational potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy.
Here are some types:* Potential energy * Kinetic energy * Chemical energy * Gravitational potential energy * Magnetic potential energy * Elastic energy * Nuclear energy
In apex, the answers for 2 potential energies, the answers are Elastic, and Magnetic energy.
An example is the energy in the magnetic field round an inductor carrying a direct current. The energy is ½Li2 which in words is 'a half times L time i-squared' - sorry but the superscript font isn't working and hasn't been fixed in months . . . L is the inductance and i is the current. When James Clerk Maxwell thought up circuit theory in the 1860s he decided to treat electric-field energy as potential energy and magnetic-field energy as kinetic energy, and then apply a mathematical method normally used for mechanical systems (Lagrange's equations). From that came the basics of circuit theory we use today.

The shape of an object is typically irrelevant in calculating its potential energy.
