The standard unit for measuring potential energy is the joule, which is abbreviated as “J.”

What unit is PE measured in?

Potential energyCommon symbolsPE, U, or VSI unitjoule (J)Derivations from other quantitiesU = m ⋅ g ⋅ h (gravitational) U = 1⁄2 ⋅ k ⋅ x2 (elastic) U = 1⁄2 ⋅ C ⋅ V2 (electric) U = −m ⋅ B (magnetic) U =

What is PE MG?

P.E. = Potential Energy. m = Mass. g = acceleration due to gravity.
