Question

The unit of (V) Gravitational Potential is

• A. $\frac{\text{Joule}}{kg}$
• B. $\text{Joule}$
• C. $\frac{\text{Joule}}{s}$
• D. $\frac{kg}{\text{Joule}}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{\text{Joule}}{kg}$

Gravitational potential is defined as the Gravitational energy per unit mass of the object on the planet. Unit of energy is always joule in SI units. Hence that of potential will be Joule/kg.
