Which of the following statement is not related to conservative force?a)Work done in closed path is zerob)Work done is recoverablec)Path independentd)Path dependentCorrect answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Question

Answer

Answer

Work done by conservative forces are path independent... Bcoz it depends only upon final and initial position.. So path dependent is wrong

Answer

Conservative Force

Conservative force is a type of force in physics that has some specific properties. Let's discuss the statement that is not related to conservative force:

Path Dependent

- Conservative forces are actually path independent, which means that the work done by the force moving an object between two points is the same regardless of the path taken. This property is in direct contrast to non-conservative forces, which are path dependent.
- Path dependent forces, on the other hand, are forces for which the work done in moving an object between two points depends on the path taken. An example of a path-dependent force is friction, where the work done in moving an object over a certain distance can vary depending on the surface or conditions.
- In the context of conservative forces, the work done in a closed path is zero, emphasizing the path independence of such forces. This is a key characteristic of conservative forces that distinguishes them from non-conservative forces.
- Therefore, the statement 'Path dependent' is not related to conservative force, as conservative forces are specifically defined by their path independence.

Answer

A force is said to be conservative if the work done by or against the force on a body is independent of path followed by the body and depends only on initial and final positions.
Work done by or against the conservative force in moving a particle along a closed path is zero.
