A particle of mass $M$ is situated at the centre of spherical shell of mass and radius $a$ . The magnitude of the gravitational potential at a point situated at $\frac{a}{2}$ distance from the centre, will beNEET 2011 (Mains)

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

$V_{P} = V_{sphere} + V_{partical}$
$V_{P} = \frac{GM}{a} + \frac{GM}{a /2} V = \frac{GM}{a} + \frac{2 GM}{a} V_{P} = \frac{3 GM}{a}$
