In a gravitational force field a particle is taken from A to B along different paths as shown in figure. Then

A

Work done along path I will be maximum

B

Work done along path III will be minimum

C

Work done along path IV will be minimum

D

Work done along all the paths will be the same

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Gravitational field is a conservative field. Therefore work done in moving a particle from A to B is independent of path chosen.
