Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The type of deformation that can hold potential energy is called
A
Fantastic
B
Elastic
C
Plastic
D
Realistic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Elastic potential energy is energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object. The energy is stored until the force is removed and the object springs back to its original shape, doing work in the process. The deformation could involve compressing, stretching or twisting the object.

Detailed explanation-2: -Elastic energy is a form of potential energy, because it is stored in the bonds between atoms in an object or substance when it is temporarily under stress. This stress could be due to the object being stretched or squashed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The deformation potential is defined as the linear displacement coefficient of the single electron band energy, or of the expectation value of the electron–phonon interaction potential.

Detailed explanation-4: -Elastic deformation is defined as deformation that is fully reversed (or recovered) when the load is removed.

Detailed explanation-5: -The electric potential (also called the electric field potential, potential drop, the electrostatic potential) is defined as the amount of work energy needed to move a unit of electric charge from a reference point to the specific point in an electric field.
