Two springs $A$ and $B$ having spring constant $K_{A}$ and $K_{B}\left(K_{A}=2 K_{B}\right)$ are stretched by applying force of equal magnitude. If energy stored in spring $A$ is $E_{A}$ then energy stored in $B$ will be

A

$2 E_{A}$

B

$E_{A}/4$

C

$E_{A}/2$

D

$4 E_{A}$

(AIPMT-2001)

Solution

Energy $=\frac{1}{2} K x^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{F^{2}}{K}$.

$\frac{K_{A}}{K_{B}}=2$

$\frac{E_{A}}{E_{B}}=\frac{1}{2}$

$E_{B}=2 E_{A}$
