The potential energy of a body executing SHM will be maximum at

A

equilibrium position

B

extreme position

C

both at equilibrium and extreme positions

D

midway between equilibrium and extreme position.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
P.E. of SHM is given by `(1)/(2) ky^(2)` and is maximum when `y=A` (amplitude).
