In my physics class, my teacher has been referring to Potential Energy in a 1D force field as the negative integral of the force with respect to position.
AKA:
U(x) = -Int(F(x) dx), where U is the potential energy at x and F is the force at x.
Can someone please explain this to me in conceptual terms?
