Question

The gravitational potential due to the earth at infinite distance from it is zero. Let the gravitational potential at a point P be . Suppose, we arbitrarily assume the gravitational potential at infinity to be + 10 $J / \mathrm { kg }$ , then the gravitational potential at P will be

• A. $- 5 J / k g$
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Answer 2

Potential increases by $+ 10 \mathrm {~J} / \mathrm { kg }$ every where so it will be at $P$
