If \(V\) is the gravitational potential due to sphere of uniform density on it's surface, then it's value at the center of sphere will be:-

  1. A \(\frac{3 V }{2}\)
  2. B \(V\)
  3. C \(\frac{4}{3} V\)
  4. D \(\frac{ V }{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{3 V }{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V =\frac{ GM }{2 R ^3}\left(3 R ^2- r ^2\right) \text { at } r=R \Rightarrow V=\left(\frac{ GM }{ R }\right)\) \(\text { at } r =0, V _0=\frac{3 GM }{2 R }=\left(\frac{3 V }{2}\right)\)
