A. Heat
B. Chemical energy
C. Electrostatic energy
D. Magnetic energy
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Work done stored in electric field between plates: U = ½CV². Recoverable on discharge. Memory aid: 'Capacitor energy = ½CV² in electric field'. Electrostatics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
The angle of reflection is measured from
A. Surface of mirror
B. Reflected ray
C. Incident ray
D. Normal to the surface

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Angle of incidence and reflection are measured with respect to the normal (perpendicular) at point of incidence. Not from surface. If angle from surface given, convert.

Question #2
The angle of minimum deviation for a prism depends on:
A. Angle of prism only
B. Wavelength of light only
C. Both angle of prism and refractive index
D. Refractive index only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Minimum deviation δ_m for a prism: n = sin[(A + δ_m)/2] / sin(A/2), where A is prism angle, n refractive index. Thus δ_m depends on both A and n. Since n varies with wavelength (dispersion), δ_m also depends on wavelength, but the primary dependencies are A and n. Memory tip: 'δ_m increases with A and n; used to measure n'. This optics formula application is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that minimum deviation occurs when ray passes symmetrically through prism, a key condition for derivation.
