The force is `……….` if the work done by the force in displacing a particle from one point to another is independent of the path followed by the particle .

Work done in carrying a particle from A to B is independent of the path chosen implies that

Assertion : Work done by or against gravitational force in moving a body from one point to another is independent of the actual path followed between the two points. Reason : This is because gravitational forces are conservative forces.

If the work done is independent of path, then the force is

Shown that work done by a conservative force on a particle moving between two points is path independent.

Shown that work done by a conservative force on a particle moving between two points is path independent.

Assertion : the net work done by an electrostatic field on a charge whilr moving it from one point to another is independent of path. Reason: the net work done by an electrostatic force on a charge in it moving along a closed loop is zero.
