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|`
