Class 11PhysicsWork, Energy, Power and CollisionConservative and Non-Conservative forces and Potential Energy
MediumThe potential energy for a conservative system is given by:
$U = ax^2 - bx$
Where $a$ and $b$ are positive constants. The law of the force governing the system is:
$U = ax^2 - bx$
Where $a$ and $b$ are positive constants. The law of the force governing the system is:
- A$F = \text{constant}$
- B$F = bx - 2a$
- C$F = b - 2ax$
- D$F = 2ax$
