Assertion : In moving from centre of a solid sphere to its surface, gravitational potential increases.
Reason : Gravitational field strength increase.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explantion of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`V_(C) = - 1.5(GM)/(R)`
`V_(S) = - (GM)/(R)`
`E_(C) = 0` and `E_(S) = (GM)/(R^(2))`
`C rarr` centre, `S rarr` surface.
