P is a point at a distance r from the centre of a solid sphere of radius a. The gravitational potential at P is V. If V is plotted as a function of r, which is the correct curve ?

a
b
c
d

detailed solution

Correct option is C

For a solid sphere gravitational potential is given byTherefore inside a solid sphere V changes parabolically with r and outside the solid V - r graph is a rectangular hyperbolic.Hence option - (3) is correct.
