Question

Which, if any, of the following statements concerning the work done by a conservative force is NOT true? All of these statements are true. It can always be expressed as the difference between the initial and final values of a potential energy function. None of these statements are true. It is independent of the path of the body and depends only on the starting and ending points. When the starting and ending points are the same, the total work is zero.

Answer 1

Answer:

When the starting and ending points are the same, the total work is zero.

Explanation:

option ( D )correct

A force is said to be conservative when the work done by the force in moving a particle from a point A to a point B is independent of the path followed between A and B and is the same for all the paths. The work done depends only on the particles initial and final positions. And when the initial and final position in conservative field are same the work done is said to be zero.
