Gravitational potential energy can be zero but gravitational potential can never be zero.(a) True(b) FalseI had been asked this question in semester exam.This interesting question is from Gravitational Potential Energy topic in section Gravitation of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Right option is (b) False

For explanation: Gravitational POTENTIAL at a point can be DEFINED as the WORK done in bringing a UNIT mass from infinity to that point.Hence, for a given point mass at infinite DISTANCE, both, the gravitational potential and the gravitational potential energy can be zero.
