Question

If the potential at the surface of a planet of mass M and radius R is assumed to be zero. Then the potential at infinity is.

• A. $\frac{GM}{R}$
• B. $\frac{\_GM}{R}$
• C. not defined.
• D. zero

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{GM}{R}$

At all places potential will increase by $\frac{GM}{R}$
