Statement I : For the stable equilibrium force has to be zero and potential energy should be minimum.
Statement II : For the equilibrium it is not necessary that the force is not zero.

In a conservative field at stable equilibrium potential energy is:

Statement I: A body in equilibrium has to be at reat only. Statement II: A body in equilibrium may be moving with a constant speed along a straight line path.

Statement I: A body in equilibrium has to be at reat only. Statement II: A body in equilibrium may be moving with a constant speed along a straight line path.

What can be said about the potential energy of a system in stable equilibrium?

What can we conclude for the potential energy of a system in stable equilibrium?

STATEMENT-1 : If potential energy of a dipole in stable equilibrium position is zero, its potential energy is unstable equilibrium position will be 2pE, where p and E represent the dipole moment and electric field respectively and STATEMENT-2 : The potential energy of a dipole is minimum in stable equilibruim position and maximum in unstable equilibrium position.

Statement I: if work done by conservative force is negative then potential energy associated with that force should increase. Statement II: This is from the reaction Delta u =- W. Here Delta u is change in potential energy and W is work done by conservative force.
