A particle is moving in a conservative force field from point A to point B. UA and UB are the potential energies of the particle at point A and B and WC is the work done by conservative forces in the process of taking the particle from A to B:
- WC = UB – UA
- WC = UA – UB
- UA > UB
- UB > UA
Answer
(B) W C = U A – U B
