Answer to Question #122280 in Classical Mechanics for Aliha

Question

Explain conservative system and give examples

Answer 1

Conservative system: A system is called conservative if the work done by the force on the system is independent of the path moreover if we choose as many paths we want, the work done by that force is not dependent on those path i.e work done will be same for all the chosen path for the same force.

Also, work done only depends on the final and initial point of the path i.e work done is function of initial and final point of the any path.

Example: Electric field , Gravitational field etc.
