👉 "Nonpotential" is a term in physics and engineering used to describe situations where an external force cannot be applied, preventing a system from reaching its stable state or equilibrium. This concept is often associated with dynamical systems, which are models that describe how forces act on objects over time. In the context of nonpotential systems, the application of external forces would require a significant amount of energy and effort to cause a change in the system's behavior. In other words, if an external force were
