Solution

In the theory of gravity, physicists often discuss a point mass, meaning a pointparticle with a nonzero mass and no other properties or structure. Likewise, in electromagnetism, physicists discuss a point charge, a point particle with a nonzero charge.
Centre of mass is a point where the whole mass of the body is concentrated.
