Exam-style question
Try this first
An object with a mass of 12 kg is raised to a height of 15 m. What is the change in gravitational potential energy? Scenario focus: field energy in a distinct A-Level Physics fields context; identify the field quantity, source, direction, and unit before selecting the answer.
- A.1800 J
- B.1200 J
- C.900 J
- D.600 J
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- 1800 J
Explanation
Why this works
The correct answer is 1800 J. This is correct for Gravitational fields because the stem is testing field energy; the chosen option keeps the field quantity, source interaction, direction, and unit consistent.
The alternatives are weaker because they mix gravitational, electric, magnetic, orbital, or transformer ideas, or they attach the right number to the wrong physical meaning.
