Figure shows the orbit of a planet `P` round the sun `S`. `AB` and `CD` are the minor and major axed of the ellipse.

If `U` is the potential energy and `K` kinetic energy then `|U|gt|K|` at

A

only `D`

B

only `C`

C

both `D & C`

D

neither `D`nor `C`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Since total energy is always negative and `K` is always positive so `|U|gt|K|`
