The definition of potential energy is:- "The gravitational potential energy at a point in the gravitational field is defined as the work done to bring a particle from infinity to that point in the gravitational field. The work done referred here (the one I highlighted) is done by gravitational force or an externalsome other force?? I think it is done by gravitational force because in the calculations above we took force F = gravitational force. Kindly clarify.
