Question

35. Which of the following statement is incorrect for
a conservative field ?
(1) Work done in going from initial to final position
is equal to change in kinetic energy of the
particle.
(2) Work done depends on path but not on initial
and final positions.
(3) Work done does not depend on path but
depends only on initial and final positions
(4) Work done on a particle in the field for a round
trip is zero.​

Answer 1

Answer:

work done does not depend on path

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Work is done when there is displacement as a result of applied force. Displacement means the shortest distant(a straight line) between initial and final position of a body. Displacement does not mean the path followed while a body. The followed is actually the distant covered
