What form of energy is stored in the water held in a dam?
APotential energy
BElectrical energy
CKinetic energy
DGravitational energy
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Potential energy
1. The stored water is at a height and is not yet moving.
2. Energy due to position/height is potential energy.
3. Hence dam water has potential energy.
