Question
Assertion : A spring has potential energy, both when it is compressed or stretched.
Reason : In compressing or stretching, work is done on the spring against the restoring force.

Answer

(a) The work done on the spring against the restoring force is stored as potential energy in both conditions when it is compressed or stretched.
