Force of Gravity (ie., the Gravitational Force of Earth), Spring Force etc. are conservative forces; and we can define potential energy for any system with a conservative force. ex- Earth and ball system, spring and block system, etc.
We know that gravitational force exists between any two objects around us, though very negligible. Is this gravitational force also a conservative force? If so, can we define potential energy for a system of any two objects as ' the negative of work done on the other object by a conservative force'?
