The gravitational potential due to the earth at infinite distance from it is zero. Let the gravitational potential at a point P be –5 J/kg. Suppose we arbitrarily assume that the gravitational potential at infinity to be + 10 J/kg, then the gravitational potential at P will be
- –5 J/kg
- +5 J/kg
- –15 J/kg
- +15 J/kg
Answer
(B) +5 J/kg
