Let gravitation field in a space be given as E = – (k/r). If the reference point is at distance d i where potential is V i then relation for potential is:
A
V = k λ n 
+ 0
+ 0
B
V = k λ n 
+ V i
+ V i
C
V = λ n 
+ kV i
+ kV i
D
V = λ n 
+ 
+
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
dv = – Edr
= 
dr
Integrating both sides
= 
v – v i = k λ n 
v = v i + k λ n
