Question

which is the best example of potential energy? holding a basketball in the air rolling a ball across a flat table flowing electric current through a wire turning on a flashlight in a dark room

Explanation:

Potential energy is stored energy. Holding a basketball in the air gives it gravitational - potential energy due to its position in Earth's gravitational field. Rolling a ball across a table has kinetic energy, flowing electric current is electrical energy in motion, and turning on a flashlight uses chemical - to - light energy conversion.
