QJEEM25Ph1c07: JEE Main 2025 Physics - Class 11 JEEM25Ph1c07 Solution: Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A…

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R\mathbf{R}

Assertion A: In a central force field, the work done is independent of the path chosen.

Reason R: Every force encountered in mechanics does not have an associated potential energy.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Multiple Choice Options

  • A A\mathbf{A} is false but R\mathbf{R} is true
  • B Both A\mathbf{A} and R\mathbf{R} are true but R\mathbf{R} is NOT the correct explanation of A\mathbf{A}
  • C A\mathbf{A} is true but R\mathbf{R} is false
  • D Both A\mathbf{A} and R\mathbf{R} are true and R\mathbf{R} is the correct explanation of A\mathbf{A}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

In a central force field, the work done is independent of the path chosen, this is true because central forces are conservative forces. Every force encountered in mechanics does not have an associated potential energy this is also true because not all forces are conservative. Hence, option 2 is correct.
