Question

What do you mean by conservative force ? Give example for conservative force.

Answer 1

A conservative force is a force with the property that the total work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of the taken path.

When an object moves from one location to another, the force changes the potential energy of the object by an amount that does not depend on the path taken.

Answer 2

The work a conservative force does on an object in moving it from A to Bis path independent -it depens only on the end points of the motion. Examples:the force of gravity and the spring force are conservative force.
