QN0035446

A uniform spherical shell gradually shrinks maintaining its shape. The gravitational potential at the centre

  • (A)

    increases

  • (B)

    remains constant

  • (C)

    decreases

  • (D)

    cannot say

Correct Answer: A
Explanation:

The gravitational potential at the centre of uniform spherical shell is equal to the gravitational potential at the surface of shell i.e.,

, where  is radius of spherical shell

Now, if the shell shrinks then its radius decrease then density increases, but mass is constant. so from above expression if a decreases, then  increases.
