    A particle moves along a circular path under the action of a force. The work done by the force is:

    A)  positive and non-zero

    B)  negative and non-zero

    C)   zero

    D)   none of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: No displacement of particle takes place on a complete circular path. Work done by a particle is defined as scalar product of force \[(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{F}})\] and displacement \[(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{s}})\]                 \[W=\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{F}}}\,\cdot \overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{s}}}\,=Fs\cos \theta \] In a complete circular motion,the displacement undergone by particle is zero, hence work done is zero.
