The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the statements regarding gravitational potential \( V_G \) and gravitational field \( E_G \) to identify the incorrect one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Gravitational Potential \( V_G \)**: - Gravitational potential \( V_G \) at a point in a gravitational field is defined as the work done per unit mass in bringing a small mass from infinity to that point against the gravitational force. - Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ V_G = -\int \vec{E_G} \cdot d\vec{r} \] - Here, \( \vec{E_G} \) is the gravitational field vector. 2. **Understanding Gravitational Field \( E_G \)**: - The gravitational field \( E_G \) at a point is defined as the force experienced by a unit mass placed at that point. - It can be expressed as: \[ E_G = -\frac{dV_G}{dr} \] 3. **Analyzing the Statements**: - We need to evaluate the statements given in the question. Typically, the statements will involve relationships between \( V_G \) and \( E_G \) under various conditions. - For example, if \( E_G = 0 \), it implies that there is no gravitational force acting at that point, which would also imply that the potential \( V_G \) is constant (not necessarily zero). 4. **Identifying the Wrong Statement**: - A common misconception is that if \( E_G = 0 \), then \( V_G \) must also be zero. This is incorrect. \( V_G \) can be a constant value (not necessarily zero) when \( E_G = 0 \). - Therefore, if one of the statements claims that \( V_G \) must be zero when \( E_G = 0 \), that statement is the wrong one. 5. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing the relationships and definitions, we conclude that the statement claiming \( V_G = 0 \) when \( E_G = 0 \) is incorrect. ### Final Answer: The wrong statement is the one that claims \( V_G = 0 \) when \( E_G = 0 \).
