The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the relation for gravitational potential \( V \) in terms of the gravitational field \( E \) and the reference potential \( V_1 \) at a distance \( d \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Information**: We are given the gravitational field \( E = -\frac{k}{r} \), where \( k \) is a constant, and \( r \) is the distance from the mass creating the gravitational field. 2. **Relate Gravitational Field to Potential**: The gravitational field \( E \) is related to the gravitational potential \( V \) by the equation: \[ E = -\frac{dV}{dr} \] Substituting the expression for \( E \): \[ -\frac{k}{r} = -\frac{dV}{dr} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{dV}{dr} = \frac{k}{r} \] 3. **Separate Variables**: We can separate the variables to integrate: \[ dV = \frac{k}{r} dr \] 4. **Integrate Both Sides**: Now we integrate both sides. The limits for \( r \) will be from \( d \) to \( r \) and for \( V \) from \( V_1 \) to \( V \): \[ \int_{V_1}^{V} dV = \int_{d}^{r} \frac{k}{r} dr \] 5. **Perform the Integration**: The left side integrates to: \[ V - V_1 \] The right side integrates to: \[ k \int_{d}^{r} \frac{1}{r} dr = k [\ln(r) - \ln(d)] = k \ln\left(\frac{r}{d}\right) \] 6. **Combine the Results**: Equating both sides gives us: \[ V - V_1 = k \ln\left(\frac{r}{d}\right) \] 7. **Rearranging the Equation**: Finally, we can express \( V \) in terms of \( V_1 \): \[ V = V_1 + k \ln\left(\frac{r}{d}\right) \] ### Final Result: The relation for potential \( V \) is: \[ V = V_1 + k \ln\left(\frac{r}{d}\right) \]
