Q.
Which of the following is the correct graph between gravitational field F on a particle with distance r due to a thin spherical shell of radius R ? (rismeasuredfromthecentreofthesphericalshell)
Gravitational field due to the thin spherical shell.
Inside the shell, F=0 ..(For r < R)
On the surface of the shell, F=R2GM For r=R
Outside the shell, F=r2GM … (Forr>R)
The variation of F with distance r from the centre is as shown in the figure.
