Question
Download Solution PDFA solid sphere of constant density p has mass M and radius R. What is the gravitational potential difference between a point P which is at distance
(i.e. Vp - Vsurface)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
Gravitational potential due to solid sphere given as
At internal point, potential difference is at distance r is given as
r is the distance from the center of the point, R is the radius of the spehre.
Calculation:
Ar surface, r = R
At distance r = R /2 from the center
Potential difference is V (R/2) - V (R)
So, the correct option is
Additional InformationThe potential difference outside the sphere is given as
