A uniform spherical shell gradually shrinks maintaining its shape. The gravitational potential at the centre (a) increases (b) decreases (c) remains constant (d) oscillates.

Answer»

(b) Decreases

EXPLANATION:

Gravitational potential at the centre of spherical shell =−GM/R
As, the shell is shrinking,R decreases,GM/R increases.
so,−GM/R  decreases.
