If 
and 
represent the work done in moving a particle from A to B along three different paths 1,2 and 3 (as shown in figure) in the gravitational field of the point mass ' m '. Find the correct relation between ' 
, ' 
' and ' 
'
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
: In a conservative field work done does not depend on the path. The gravitational field is conservative in nature. So, the work done is same for each path, i.e. 
.
