Class 11PhysicsWork, Energy, Power and CollisionConservative and Non-Conservative forces and Potential Energy
MediumGive examples of a conservative force and a non-conservative force.
(N/A) conservative force is a force with the property that the total work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of the path taken. Examples include: $1$. Gravitational force,$2$. Electrostatic force,$3$. Spring force (elastic force).
$A$ non-conservative force is a force for which the work done depends on the path taken. Examples include: $1$. Frictional force,$2$. Viscous force,$3$. Air resistance.
$A$ non-conservative force is a force for which the work done depends on the path taken. Examples include: $1$. Frictional force,$2$. Viscous force,$3$. Air resistance.
