Define gravitational potential and gravitational potential energy.

A block of mass m is lying at a distance r from a spherical shell of mass m and radius r, then : A. only gravitational field inside the shell is zero B. gravitational field and gravitational potential both are zero inside the shell C. gravitational potential as well as gravitational field inside the shell are not zero . D. can't be ascertained

Gravitational field due to a solid sphere

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).
