Which of the following is not a conservative force?

  1. A
    Gravitational force
  2. B
    Frictional force
  3. C
    Electrostatic force
  4. D
    Magnetostatic force

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

A force is conservative if the work done by or against it in moving an object between two points depends solely on the initial and final positions, not on the path taken. Frictional force is a dissipative, non-conservative force because the work done against friction depends directly on the length of the path and is lost as heat.
