Q111 / 120 · VITEEE 2017 · Physics

The potential energy of a system increases if work is done

A
upon the system by a non conservative force
B
by the system against a conservative force
C
by the system against a non conservative force
Correct answer
D
upon the system by a conservative force

Solution

When work is done upon a system by a conservative force then its potential energy increases.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
