Assertion: A spring has potential energy...

Assertion: A spring has potential energy , both when it is compressed or stretched.
Reason: In compressing or stretching, work is done on the spring against the restoring force.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The work done on the spring against the restoring force is stored as potential energy in both conditions when it is compressed or stretched.
