A shell of mass M and radius R has a point mass m placed at a distance r from its centre. The gravitational potential energy U (r) vs r will be

a
b
c
d

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Gravitational P.E. = m × gravitational potential U = mV  So the graph of U will be same as that of V for a spherical shell.
