Two concentric shells of masses M(1) and...

Two concentric shells of masses `M_(1)` and `M_(2)` are having radii `r_(1)` and `r_(2)`. Which of the following is the correct expression for the gravitational field on a mass `m`?

A

`F=(G(M_(1)+M_(2)))/(r_(2)),"for"ltr_(1)`

B

`E=(G(M_(1)+M_(2)))/(r_(2)),"for"ltr_(2)`

C

`E=(GM_(2))/(r_(2)),"for"r_(1)ltrltr_(2)`

D

`E=(GM_(1))/(r_(2)),"for"r_(1)ltrltr_(2)`

Assertion : Two spherical shells have masses m_(1) and m_(2) . Their radii are r_(1) and r_(2) . Let r be the distance of a point from centre. Then gravitational field strength and gravitational potential both are equal to zero for O lt r lt r_(1) Reason : In the region r_(1) lt r lt r_(2) , gravitational field strength due to m_(2) is zero. But gravitational potential due to m_(2) is constant (but non-zero).
