Here F=K*1/d2, where suppose K=proportionality constant, d= distance.                                                                               here that force is conservative force because it is path dependent force clearly because in this situation force is greater when distance is smaller and vice-versa,i.e it is depeding on distance.ex: electrical forcei.e Kq1q2/d2. and it is conservative.  If you like the answer plz approve this by clicking on yes.
