Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

Two springs A and B having spring constant Kₐ and Kᵦ. (Kₐ = 2Kᵦ) are stretched by applying force of equal magnitude. If energy stored in spring A is E then energy stored in B will be:

A

2E

B

E/4

C

E/2

D

4E

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Since Kₐ = 2Kᵦ, the energy stored in spring B will be half of that in spring A, which is 2E.
