Gravitational field can be zero when the masses are placed such that the field due to each other cancel out or if all the masses are zero. Gravitational potential is zero, only when the masses are zero. Hence, it is not possible to have a non zero field with zero potential.

Q. Let $V_{g}$ and $E_{g}$ denote gravitational potential and field respectively, then choose the wrong statement

$V_{G} = 0, E_{G} = 0$

$V_{G} \neq = 0, E_{G} = 0$

$V_{G} = 0, E_{G} \neq = 0$

$V_{G} \neq = 0, E_{G} \neq = 0$

Gravitational field can be zero when the masses are placed such that the field due to each other cancel out or if all the masses are zero. Gravitational potential is zero, only when the masses are zero. Hence, it is not possible to have a non zero field with zero potential.

Q. Let Vg​ and Eg​ denote gravitational potential and field respectively, then choose the wrong statement

VG​=0,EG​=0

VG​=0,EG​=0

VG​=0,EG​=0

VG​=0,EG​=0
