A uniform sphere has radius ' \(R\) ' and mass ' \(M\) '. The magnitude of gravitational field at distances ' \(\mathrm{r}_1\) ' and ' \(\mathrm{r}_2\) ' from the centre of the sphere are ' \(E_1\) ' and ' \(E_2\) ' respectively. The ratio \(E_1: E_2\) is ( \(r_1>R\) and \(r_2 < R\) )

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{R}^2}{\mathrm{r}_1^2 \mathrm{r}_2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{R}^3}{\mathrm{r}_1 \mathrm{r}_2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{R}^3}{\mathrm{r}_1^2 \mathrm{r}_2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{R}^3}{\mathrm{r}_1 \mathrm{r}_2^2}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\mathrm{R}^3}{\mathrm{r}_1^2 \mathrm{r}_2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E_1 = \frac{GM}{r_1^2}\) \(E_2 = \frac{GMr_2}{R^3}\)
