Which one of the following is not a form of stored energy?
A. Nuclear energy
B. Potential energy
C. Electrical energy
D. Chemical energy
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The correct answer is Option C: Electrical energyHere's why:
* Stored energy means energy that is held within an object or system and can be released later.
* Nuclear energy: This is energy stored within the nucleus of an atom. Think of nuclear power plants.
* Potential energy: This is energy an object has because of its position or condition. A stretched rubber band or a book on a high shelf has potential energy.
* Chemical energy: This is energy stored in the bonds of molecules. Think of the energy in food or gasoline.
* Electrical energy: While we use electricity to *transfer* energy, it is generally considered as a form of kinetic energy (the energy of moving electric charges), not a form of *stored* energy. It is the flow of electrons.
Therefore, electrical energy is not typically classified as stored energy in the same way as the other options.

Explanation:
Nuclear energy, potential energy, and chemical energy are all forms of stored energy:
Nuclear energy is stored in the nucleus of atoms.
Potential energy is stored due to an object's position (like a rock at the top of a hill).
Chemical energy is stored in chemical bonds (like in food or batteries).
Electrical energy, on the other hand, is energy in motion — it involves the movement of electric charges (electrons), not stored energy.
