Which one of the following plots represents the variation of 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)
Correct Option: B
The Gravitational field due to a thin spherical shell of radius R at distance r.
| E = | (If r > R) | |
| r2 |
For r = R i.e. on the surface of the shell
| E = | ||
| R2 |
For r < R i.e. inside the shell E = 0
