NEET Physics: Energy questions with solutions

Q1. The water stored in a reservoir possesses:

1. Kinetic energy
2. Muscular energy
3. Potential energy
4. Magnetic energy

Answer: Potential energy

Water in a reservoir is held at an elevated level, so it has energy by virtue of its position in a gravitational field. Since it is not primarily moving, the energy is potential energy rather than kinetic energy.
