प्रश्न
Let V and E be the gravitational potential and gravitational field at a distance r from the centre of a uniform spherical shell. Consider the following two statements :
(A) The plot of V against r is discontinuous.
(B) The plot of E against r is discontinuous.
पर्याय
Both A and B are correct.
A is correct but B is wrong.
B is correct but A is wrong.
Both A and B are wrong.

उत्तर
B is correct but A is wrong.
The plot of E against r is discontinuous as gravitational field inside the spherical shell is zero (r < R). The plot of V against r is a continuous curve for a uniform spherical shell.
