Gravitational field intensity

Question

A particle of mass m is placed inside a spherical shell, away from its centre. The mass of the shell is M.

Easy

A

The particle will move towards the centre
B

The particle will move away from the centre, towards the nearest wall
C

The particle will move towards the centre if m < M, and away from the centre if m > M
D

The particle will remain stationary

Solution

Inside a spherical shell intensity of gravitational field is zero . So the particle does not experience any gravitational force . Hence option - (4) is right.
