Let V and E denote the gravitational potential and gravitational field at a point. It is possible to have

A

`V=` and `E=0`

B

`V=0` and `E!=0`

C

`V!=` and `E=0`

D

`V!=0` and `E!=0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C, D
From relation `|E|=(dV)/(dr)`
When `V=0, E=0`, when `V=` constant , `E=0`, when `V=!=, E=!=`
So, option a, c and d are correct.
