conservative force is the force which only depend on its position of final point and initial point and not the path followed .
it can be explained in the same way in which we explain difference between distance covered and displacement .
net force in after travelling from thus zero .

Conservative force is that force which is independent of the path followed.When the final and the initial point are same, u can say that net force is zero. When an object moves from one point to another, conservative force changes the potential energy by an amount independent of the path taken by it. In other words, u can say that this types of forces conserves mechanical energy of the body. Eg:- Gravitational force, spring force, etc., while forces such as frictional force are non-conservative forces.
