Physics 1st Year Chapter 4 Work and Energy MCQs with Answers

You can get the important Physics 1st Year Chapter 4 Work and Energy MCQs with Answers here. Work is defined as the product of Work and displacement. Work is done by two forces i.e. Constant and Variable Forces. Work is also done by the Gravitational field. Another important thing in this Chapter is power. Power is the measure of the rate at which work is done. The work-Energy principle and Escape Velocity also links with Work. Absolute Potential Energy has a relation with Energy.  Conservation of Energy and Sources of Energy (Energy from tides, from waves, Solar Energy, from Biomass, from Waste products, and Geothermal Energy) are also described in the Chapter. So, get the important MCQs here and prepare for the Entry Test.
