Which of the following is a characteristic of conservative force?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Work done by it is completely recoverable.
- A conservative force is a force done in moving a particle from one point to another.
- Such a force is independent of the path taken by the particle.
- It depends only on the initial and final position of the particle.
- Gravitational force and elastic spring forces are two examples of conservative forces.
- The key characteristic of the conservative force is that the work done by it is completely reversible.
