Elastic energy is produced when a material is stretched or compressed, causing potential energy to be stored in its structure. When the material returns to its original shape, this energy is released as kinetic energy. This process is commonly seen in springs or rubber bands.
A burning candle represents both potential and kinetic energy. The potential energy is stored in the candle wax and is released as heat and light energy when the candle burns, which is the kinetic energy produced.
Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when an object is in motion. As the object moves, kinetic energy is produced. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energies combined, reflecting the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
When a spring is loaded, it stores potential energy due to the deformation in its structure. The strength produced by a loaded spring is related to the stiffness of the spring (measured by its spring constant) and the amount of deformation it undergoes. This stored potential energy can then be released as kinetic energy when the spring is allowed to return to its original position.
When charges move by an electric field to a position of lower potential energy, some of their potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. This results in the charges gaining speed and moving faster as they approach the lower potential energy position.
chemical potential
Energy is the ability to do work. Potential energy is the energy a body has because of its position.

in a power station, which usually converts chemical potential energy into electrical energy, which supplies potential difference and drives current.

An electric current is produced when charges are accelerated by an electric field and move to a position of potential energy difference. This movement of charges generates a flow of electric charge that constitutes an electric current.

kinetic entergy
It is produced by converting some other type of energy into potential energy. For example, it takes an effort to lift an object up (against the force of gravitation) or to compress a spring.
Hydroelectric power is generated using the potential energy stored in water at a height. When water flows downhill through turbines, the gravitational potential energy is converted into mechanical energy to generate electricity. Therefore, the greater the height difference or potential energy of the water, the more electricity can be produced.
