Question

Wired Faculty App

Which one of the following plots represents the variation of the gravitational field on a particle with distance r due to a thin spherical shell of radius R? (r is measured from the centre of the spherical shell).

Solution

B.

Inside the shell, E =0
and outside the shell, $straight E proportional to 1 over straight r$
Hence, graph (b) shows the exact result.
