A force is conservative if the total work it does around a closed path is zero.
(For part of the path, it's pushing, doing positive work, and for the rest of the
path, it's resisting, doing negative work.)
Gravitational and electrostatic forces are conservative forces.
Frictional forces are not conservative. They only push in the negative direction.
No matter which way an object is moving, friction is always resisting the motion.
No friction is a non conservative force.

conservative force
Conservative vector force is the result of the gradient of energy. Gravitational vector force is the result of the gradient of -GmM/r = -mu/r.
Yes, Coulomb's law is an example of a conservative force. A conservative force is one in which the energy required to move a particle (subject to this force) from one point in space to another is independent of the path taken.

Scalar force and vector force. Force like many fields in physics is a quaternion.
A force is conservative if the amount of work it does going from one point to another doesn't depend on the route it takes. That also means that if it ends up at the same point where it started ... no matter where it went while it was out wandering around ... the total work it does around the closed path is zero. The gravitational and electrostatic forces are conservative forces.

Yes, Coulomb's law is an example of a conservative force. A conservative force is one in which the energy required to move a particle (subject to this force) from one point in space to another is independent of the path taken.
Non conservative forces are frictional force, air resistance, tension in a string and normal force etc.
The difference is that on conservative forces you can get the force back while on nonconservative you can't
No, the force in tension of a string is not conservative. The only non-conservative force acting is the tension force, but it acts perpendicular to the path of the object at every instant, and so it does zero work.
