Question #1
A body is lifted vertically through a height h. The work done against gravity is stored as:
A. Kinetic energy
B. Gravitational potential energy
C. Thermal energy
D. Elastic potential energy

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
When a body is lifted against gravity, work done (mgh) is stored as gravitational potential energy. This energy can be recovered when the body falls. Kinetic energy relates to motion, thermal to heat, elastic to deformed materials. The conservation of energy principle states that work done against conservative forces becomes potential energy. Formula: PE = mgh, where h is height above reference. Memory aid: 'Potential' means stored energy due to position. This conceptual question tests energy transformation understanding, frequently appearing in work-energy theorem applications in competitive exams.

Question #3
The work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to another against an electric field is known as:
A. Potential Difference
B. Electric Flux
C. Electric Field Intensity
D. Capacitance

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
By definition, the electric potential difference between two points in an electric field is the amount of external work required to move a unit positive charge (1 Coulomb) slowly and without acceleration from one point to the other against the electrostatic force. The SI unit of potential difference is the Volt (Joules/Coulomb).
