Question

A cylindrical cell is resting on top of a wooden board attached to an inclined plane. Name the energy possessed by the cell when it is at rest on top of the board.

Answer 1

1. The cell will possess potential energy due to the height gained by the cell.
2. The magnitude of the potential energy possessed by the cell will be directly proportional to its mass and height gained.
3. The more the height gained by the cell, the more will be its potential energy and vice versa.
