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.

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 ?

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 By Gravitational Forces

Assertion (A): Work done in moving a charge between any two points in a uniform electric field is independent of the path followed by the charge between these two points. Reason (R ): Electrostatic forces are non-conservative.

Assertion: Work done in moving a charge between any two points in a unifrom electric field is independent of the path followed by the charge, between these points. Reason: Electrostatic forces are non-conservative.

The gravitational force between two bodies is

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

Gravitational force between two bodies exist

Assertion: Work done by the force of friction in moving a body around a closed loop is zero. Reason: Work done does not depend upon the nature of force.

Assertion : Work done by the centripetal force in moving a body along a circle is always zero. Reason : Because displacement of the body is along the force.
