A body is moved along a closed loop. Is the work done in moving the body necessarily zero ? If not, state the condition under which work done over a closed path is always zero.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, not necessarily. Work done in moving a body over a closed path wil be zero only when all the forces acting on the system are conservative forces.
