Solution

The correct option is B False

Conservative force

  1. A conservative force is a force where the work done in moving a particle from one point to another is independent of the path taken by the particle.
  2. It depends only on the initial and final position of the particle.
  3. Example: gravitational force, elastic spring force.

Non-conservative force

  1. A non-conservative force is one for which work depends on the path.
  2. Example: frictional force

Friction is non-conservative because the amount of work done by friction depends on the path.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
