Correct answer: B
-
Given data
The gravitational field is with
Reference point:
We need to find potential at
-
Relation between gravitational field and potential
Gravitational field and potential are related by
Since we get
-
Integrate to get potential difference
-
Substitute
Therefore,
-
Final answer
So the correct option is B.
-
Check with stored answer
