Assertion : There are two identical spherical bodies fixed in two positions as shows. While moving from `A` to `B` gravitational potential first increases then decreases.

Reason : At centre point of `A` and `B` field strength will be zero.

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
If a mass `m` is displaced from centre along the line `AB`, force it is away from the centre . So, it is in ustable equilibrium position at centre. So, potential energy and hence the potential at centre is maximum.
