Work done by the conservative force on a system is equal to

a
the change in kinetic energy of the system
b
the change in potential energy of the system
c
the change in total mechanical energy of the system
d
none of the above

detailed solution

Correct option is B

We know that dU = -dWWhere dU = Change in potential energyand dW = Work done by conservative forcesHence, work done by conservative forces on a system is equal to the negative of the change in potential energy
