Electrostatic force is conservative because the work done by the force depends on the initial and the final points of a test charge. Electrostatic force is central because the force acts along the line joining the centres of these charges.
Subsequently, how electrostatic force is conservative in nature?
The work done to carry a test charge (q) from point A to another point B in the field due to Q does not depend upon the path followed. Electric field depends upon the initial and final positions A and B. Electric fields are independent of the path followed. So we say that the electric field is conservative in nature.
Simply so, is electrostatic force conservative or nonconservative?
Electrostatic force is a conservative force. Potential at a point is the work done per unit charge in bringing a charge from any point to infinity. Electrostatic force is non-conservative.
Is nuclear force conservative?
Practically speaking, nuclear force is not a conservative force. As conservation of force holds good at weak interaction but since nuclear force is extremely strong in nature and the interaction is in micro levels , at the level of quarks.
Which force is conservative?
Gravitational force is an example of a conservative force, while frictional force is an example of a non-conservative force. Other examples of conservative forces are: force in elastic spring, electrostatic force between two electric charges, and magnetic force between two magnetic poles.
