Q.
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 minimum
C) Work done along path IV will be minimum
D) Work done along all the paths will be the same
Explanation
(d) Gravitational field is a conservative field. Therefore work done in moving a particle from $A$ to $B$ is independent of path chosen
