You'd be surprised how magnets can store potential energy by influencing other objects nearby. It's all about that magnetic mojo, folks.
Magnets themselves don't have potential energy. They create a magnetic field, which can store potential energy when interacting with ferromagnetic materials.
A magnet itself doesn’t count as potential energy, but the magnetic field around it can store potential energy. Think of it as a battery – it stores energy ready to do work when it interacts with something else!
