When a coil spring is compressed, the work is done in the spring. The elastic potential energy:A. increases B. decreases C. disappears D. remains unchanged

Answer»

Work done by a coil spring is given by,

W = \(\frac{1}{2}\)KX2

Where k is the spring constant/stiffness 

X is the extension or compression produced 

This work done is stored in spring as elastic potential energy (PE) when the spring is compressed and hence elastic potential energy decreases.
