The energy stored in a watch spring is
-
- kinetic energy
- potential energy
- heat energy
- chemical energy
- kinetic energy
Correct Option: B
The energy stored in a spring of a watch is potential energy which is as a result of winding of the string. This energy is used to run the watch as it converts this potential energy to rotational kinetic energy. Windup watches function due to the winding of a small dial on the outside of the watch. This dial transfers the energy produced by your hand to the internal components of the watch.
