The value of gravitational potential inside a uniform thin spherical shell is the same everywhere.(a) True(b) FalseI have been asked this question in semester exam.This intriguing question originated from Gravitational Potential Energy topic in portion Gravitation of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

The correct option is (a) True

Easy explanation: The GRAVITATIONAL potential INSIDE a uniform thin spherical shell of radius “a” is;

V = -(G*M)/a, which is a constant. Hence, the value of gravitational potential inside a uniform thinspherical shell is the same everywhere and not necessarily non-zero.
