In physics, a conservative force is a force with the property that the total work done by the force in moving a particle between two points is independent of the path taken. Equivalently, if a particle travels in a closed loop, the total work done (the sum of the force acting along the path multiplied by the displacement) by a conservative force is zero.

In physics, a conservative force is a force with the property that the total work done by the force in moving a particle between two points is independent of the path taken. Equivalently, if a particle travels in a closed loop, the total work done (the sum of the force acting along the path multiplied by the displacement) by a conservative force is zero.
A conservative force depends only on the position of the object. If a force is conservative, it is possible to assign a numerical value for the potential at any point and conversely, when an object moves from one location to another, the force changes the potential energy of the object by an amount that does not depend on the path taken, contributing to the mechanical energy and the overall conservation of energy. If the force is not conservative, then defining a scalar potential is not possible, because taking different paths would lead to conflicting potential differences between the start and end points.
Gravitational force is an example of a conservative force, while frictional force is an example of a non-conservative force.
Other examples of conservative forces are: force in elastic spring, force due to liquid pressure acting on a surface, electrostatic force between two electric charges, and magnetic force between two magnetic poles. The last two forces are called central forces as they act along the line joining the centres of two charged/magnetized bodies. A central force is conservative if and only if it is spherically symmetric.
For conservative forces,

This paper presents a deterministic model for the work done on both patient and therapist in a 5-dimensional, 2400 state system. The data are drawn from six psychotherapy consultation sessions, and the quantified dimensions were selected mainly on the basis of a conceptualization of empirical signs of unconscious communication. The concept of work used is drawn from the physics of motion which sees work as the integral of force along its path of action. The definition of force is Newtonian (F = m a). The present model, verified by regression analysis (p @? 10^-^5), posits that the work done by the force derived from the patient/therapist interaction in changing patient and therapist states is a linear function of time. Hence, the force is non-conservative because approximately one half of all states are revisited and positive work is done in returning the patient or therapist to a prior state. Thus, the work done in moving the patient or therapist from an initial to a final state depends upon the path chosen from initial to final state. An application of Stokes' Theorem confirms that the force tends to return both patient and therapist to prior states in 5-dimensional space, and shows that the force also constrains the motion of the ''information particle'' under study to an ellipsoidal shell whose center coordinates are in a lower region of a 5-dimensional cube. This region corresponds to low level of unconscious expression. The motion constrained by this geometry appears to
The conservative properties of stiffness matrices via the nonconservative congruence mapping between the joint and Cartesian spaces are investigated with simulation of two fingers manipulating an object. The properties of both constant and configuration dependent stiffness matrices are presented with integration of work when manipulating along a closed path with no self-intersection. A stiffness matrix is conservative if the force resulting from the stiffness matrix is conservative, and the work done by such force along a closed path is zero, i.e., independent of the path. Both theoretical derivation and numerical simulation show that a stiffness matrix in /spl Rscr/3/spl times/3 Cartesian space or joint space with n generalized coordinates will be conservative if it is symmetric and satisfies the exact differential criterion. Simulation of two fingers manipulating an object is implemented using OpenGL with both Cartesian-based and joint-based stiffness control scheme. The results show that the congruence transformation generally results in nonconservative stiffness matrix, except for a special group configuration dependent solutions.
indefinitely. If the work required is the same for all paths between A and P, and therefore zero for a closed circuit, the field is said to be conservative . In
energy is conserved. For a conservative system, the work done in moving along a path in a configuration space depends on only the endpoints of the path, so
In vector calculus, a conservative vector field is a vector field that is the gradient of some function. A conservative vector field has the property that its line integral is path independent; the choice of path between two points does not change the value of the line integral.

In vector calculus, a conservative vector field is a vector field that is the gradient of some function. A conservative vector field has the property that its line integral is path independent; the choice of path between two points does not change the value of the line integral. Path independence of the line integral is equivalent to the vector field under the line integral being conservative. A conservative vector field is also irrotational; in three dimensions, this means that it has vanishing curl. An irrotational vector field is necessarily conservative provided that the domain is simply connected.
