The water stored in a reservoir possesses:
The water stored in a reservoir possesses:
- A. Kinetic energy
- B. Muscular energy
- C. Potential energy
- D. Magnetic energy
Step-by-step solution
Water stored in a reservoir is at a height, so it possesses gravitational potential energy due to its position relative to a reference level. It is not in motion, so no kinetic energy; muscular energy is from living organisms; magnetic energy is associated with magnetic fields.
