MCQ
An overhead tank having some water possesses .......... energy.
  • A
    Kinetic
  • B
    Potential
  • C
    Thermal
  • D
    Electrical

Answer

  1. Potential

Explanation:

We know that Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by the virtue of its position.

$\therefore$ An overhead tank having some water possesses Potential energy, as it is at a height.
