Question

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 maximum (C) work done along path IV will be maximum (D) work done along all the paths will be the same

In conservative field, work done by the force is independent of the path followed between any two points. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/aba8984ad4e677d62189f2e35902f6ef-.png" /> Gravitational forces are conservative hence work done along all the paths will be same.

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

work done along path I will be maximum

work done along path III will be maximum

work done along path IV will be maximum

work done along all the paths will be the same

In conservative field, work done by the force is independent of the path followed between any two points.

Gravitational forces are conservative hence work done along all the paths will be same.
