A shell of mass M and radius R has point mass m placed at a distance r from its centre. The gravitational potential energy U(r) vs r will be

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Gravitational P.E=`mxx` gravitational potential
`U=mV`
so the graph of U will be same as that of `V` for a spherical shell.
