Q. Which is the form of energy present in compressed spring?
Solution:
- The energy stored in a spring is elastic potential energy. If the spring is compressible, a force has to be applied to the spring to compress it. The work done compressing the spring is stored in the spring as potential energy. If the spring is extendable, a force has to be applied to stretch the spring. The work done extending the spring is stored in the spring as potential energy.
