Why potential energy is a state function while work is not?

Answers

Answered by Risingbrainlystar

Heat and work are not state functions.Work can't be a state function because it is proportional to the distance an object is moved, which depends on the path used to go from the initial to the final state. If work isn't a state function, then heat can't be a state functioneither.
