What is the relation between gravitational intensity and gravitational potential at a point?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the relation between gravitational intensity (also known as gravitational field strength) and gravitational potential at a point, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define Gravitational Potential (V) Gravitational potential (V) at a point in a gravitational field is defined as the work done per unit mass to bring a small test mass from infinity to that point. Mathematically, it is expressed as: \[ V = -\int \vec{g} \cdot d\vec{r} \] where \( \vec{g} \) is the gravitational field strength and \( d\vec{r} \) is the displacement vector. ### Step 2: Define Gravitational Intensity (g) ...
