What is a conservative force? Give two examples and state one property.
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
A conservative force is one for which the work done in moving a body between two points is independent of the path taken, and the work done round any closed path is zero. Gravitational and elastic forces are examples. A potential energy can be defined for such a force, which cannot be done for friction.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
Friction and viscous drag are non-conservative.
