Flux as the Flow

Gravitational...

Question

Gravitational field due to a spherical shell
$x > R : x \leq R :$
$E_{G} = \frac{- G M}{x^{2}} E_{G} = z e r o$ .

Open in App

Solution

Gravitational field inside a spherical shell is zero and for outside point consider the shell as a point charge. So,
$E g (A) = 0$
$E g (P) = \frac{G M}{x^{2}}$
