1:26 🌟
2:08 doubt cleared
3:02 omg, thankyou for clearing all the basics 🥺🙏🙏❤️❤️

Thanks for your clear explanation. I was trying to figure out why the gradient force used in optical tweezers is conservative force while the radiation force used for lifting particles is non-conservative force. And your explanation about the transform between potential and kinetic energy truly gave the reason. Thank you.

Cant thank you enough sir!! 😱I love how my years of doubts are cleared in minutes!!

[KingBarney]

Wow, this was very well explained.
Better than any uni prof would explain. :P

[knucklescapricorn]

Thank you very much :D I was having trouble understanding the whole "the work done by a conservative force on a particle moving between any two points is independent of the path taken" that my textbook was saying

[nitujha]

Well explained....I was having doubt on the topic

[katherinehernandez]

Wow my professor could've just done this as the intro instead of crash course and saved me the 15 minutes and still not understanding what the hell was going on.

[tubakhan]

Amazing..!
Finally understood this concept.. Thanks👍❤

[smoothmomentscaughtonk]

Explained very well....can we like a video twice....cause this is❤❤

[Ami_S]

Can someone help me out here, the definition of work is the dot product of F and displacement and displacement DEFINITELY depends on initial and final position. I don't understand how in non conservative forces we can't apply the concept.

[madhusudansoren]

I had dubt before watch this
video but now I understood the concept.So it was nice explanation.👌👌👌

[piyushranjan]

It is really amazing thank you so much

[ajhhc]

Why is this information on the medicine section?

[_anjali_iit-g]

Ohh thank u sir for so smoothly explained this topic😊

[isteakahamedimon]

Excellent ! This one made the intuition better than before.

Conservative force_ conserves mechanical energy so we can define potential energy for them( mechanical energy store in form of potential energy)

[laxmiverma]

Very best explanation of con. force, SIR upload the non- con. force

[arrigofacchini]

Schouldn´t be the signs in the example with gravity the opposite? Work done by the system to the sourrounding (Pack falling down) means reduction of systems energy and negative work. Am I right?

[mela_nine]

Thank you so much as this video has helped me to be able to distinguish the difference between the two concepts:)

[khushbukapoor]

Wowwww...I want to give it trillion of likes...it was short easy and most importantly logical
