How can Work done by Centripetal Force? Give an examples.

Answer»

The work done by centripetal force is always zero as it is perpendicular to velocity and hence instantaneous displacement. 

Example : 

(i) When an electron revolve around the nucleus in hydrogen atom in a particular orbit, it neither absorb nor emit any energy means its energy remains constant. 

(ii) When a satellite established once in a orbit around the earth and it starts revolving with particular speed, then no fuel is required for its circular motion
