Potential energy

Question

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

Easy

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

Solution

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.
