A body is moved along a closed loop. Is the work done in moving the 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, work done in moving along a closed loop is not necessarily zero. It is zero only when all the forces are conservative forces.
