Q. The potential energy of a system increases if work is done

(a) by the system against a conservative force  (b) by the system against a non-conservative force  (c) upon the system by a conservative force  (d) upon the system by a non-conservative force

AIPMT/NEET 2011 | W.P.E Q 1 | A theoretical qus so please be aware there are more chances of getting negative marks if concepts are not clear. Other thing is casual attitude while attempting theoretical qus. Please make a habit of reading all options carefully.

When we move an object upto some height against gravity and release, it gains kinetic energy while moving down. It means work done against a conservative force like gravity is somehow stored, in the sense that we can get it back again in the form of kinetic energy. We can consider the “stored work” as potential energy U.

If a conservative force does positive work (as does gravity on a falling object), then potential energy must decrease – and that means DU must be negative. Conversely, if a conservative force does negative work (as does gravity on a weight being lifted), then energy is stored and DU must be positive.
