Potential Energy and Conservative Forces

Conservative Forces

What is a conservative Force?


Two conditions are neccessary for a Force to be conservative.

  1. The force on depends on the objects position (F = F(r)). Not on time nor velocity
  2. The work done by the force in displacing the object between two points is independent of the path taken.
