Question

which of the following is a form of potential energy?
a. electrical energy
b. sound energy
c. nuclear energy
d. light energy

Explanation:

• Electrical energy is the energy due to the movement of electrons (kinetic aspect) but can also be stored as potential (e.g., in capacitors).
• Sound energy is the energy associated with the vibration of particles (kinetic).
• Light energy is electromagnetic radiation (kinetic).
• Nuclear energy is the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. This stored energy is a form of potential energy as it can be released through nuclear reactions (like fission or fusion).

Answer:

C. Nuclear energy
