Questions  

The PE of a simple pendulum is maximum when it is :

a
at the turning points of the oscillation
b
at the equilibrium
c
in between the above two cases
d
at any position it has always a fixed value

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The potential energy of a simple pendulum is maximum at the highest vertical position compared to the equilibrium position. Hence maximum P.E. occurs at the turning points for the oscillation of the pendulum.
