Elastic potential energy has the potential to move after stretching. When an object, such as a spring or a rubber band, is stretched, energy is stored in the object as potential energy. When released, this energy is converted into kinetic energy, causing the object to move back to its original position.
The potential energy of an object as it is being lifted comes from the work done against gravity to move the object to a higher position. This work done is converted into potential energy, stored in the object as its height increases.
You can give a rubber band potential energy by stretching it. When you stretch a rubber band, you are doing work on it, which causes the rubber band to store potential energy in the form of strain energy. This potential energy is released when the rubber band is allowed to return to its original shape.
Elasticity.
Some non-examples of elastic potential energy include gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, and thermal energy. These types of energy are different from elastic potential energy as they are not associated with the deformation or stretching of an elastic material.
You can increase an object's potential energy by either increasing its height or applying a force in the direction opposite to the field it is in. This applies to gravitational potential energy (increasing height) and elastic potential energy (stretching a spring).

It has potential to do work. Looking at it another way, it requires energy to stretch the rubber band; this energy can be recovered - for example, by pulling something - when the rubber band gets back to its normal position.
You can increase the elastic potential energy of a spring by stretching or compressing it further. The more you stretch or compress the spring, the greater the potential energy stored in it.
When a material undergoes stretching or compression, the energy associated with this deformation is stored as potential energy in the bonds between the atoms or molecules of the material. The amount of energy stored is proportional to the amount of deformation applied to the material. This potential energy can be released as kinetic energy when the material returns to its original shape.
