A shell of mass M and radius R has point mass m placed at a distance r from its centre. The gravitational potential energy U(r) vs r will beA. B. C. D. |
Answer» Correct Answer - D The gravitational potential energy U (r ) has a constant value inside the shell for `r le R`. and it is given by `U (r ) = -(GMm)/(r )` For `r gr R, U (r )=-(GMm)/(r )` It decreases as r increases. |
