In a simple harmonic motion, if the amplitude is increased, what happens to the total energy of the system?
It decreases
It remains the same
It increases
It becomes zero
The total energy in simple harmonic motion is proportional to the square of the amplitude. If the amplitude increases, the total energy increases.
