An overhead tank having some water possesses energy.
An overhead tank having some water possesses energy.
- A. Kinetic
- B. Potential
- C. Thermal
- D. Electrical
Step-by-step solution
An overhead tank is positioned at a height, so the water in it has gravitational potential energy due to its position above the ground. It is not in motion, so kinetic energy is absent. Thermal energy is not inherently present, and electrical energy is irrelevant. Thus, the stored energy is potential.
