Define potential energy in context with a conservative force. How can these two quantities be determined from each other ? Write the necessary relations?

Define potential energy and conservative force. Write two relations between them.

Relation Between Potential Energy And Conservative Forces

Potential Energy Concept|| Relation Between Conservation Force And PE

What is the gravitational force between two bodies at an infinite distance from each other?

Can you associate potential energy with a non conservative force ?

The relation between conservative force and potential energy U is given by :–

A : The potential energy can be defined only in conservative field. R : The value of potential energy depends on the reference level (level of zero potential energy).

A force is said to be conservative if work done by or agains the force depends only on initial and final positions of the body and not on the nature of path followed. A force is said to be non-conservative, if work done by or against the force in moving a body from one position to another, depeds on the path followed between these two positions. Potential energy is defined only for conservative forces. It does not exist for non-conservative forces. Read the above passage and answer the following question : (i) Give two examples, each for conservative and non-conservative forces. (ii) Potential energy does not exist for non-conservative forces. What does it imply ini day to day life ?
