NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): The work done by a conservative force depends only on the initial and final positions of the object.
Reason (R): The work done by a conservative force can be expressed as the negative of the difference in potential energy between the initial and final positions.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
A is false.
