Two concentric spherical shells of non-zero masses are as shown in the figure :- (
Column IColumn II
(A)Potential at A(P)Greater than B
(B)Gravitational field at A(Q)Less than B
(C)As one moves from C to D(R)Potential remains constant
(D)As one moves from D to A(S)Gravitational field decreases
(T)Data insufficient
)Two concentric spherical shells of non-zero masses are as shown in the figure :- ( Column I Column II (A) Potential at

Options

  1. A(A) (\rightarrow) P; (B) (\rightarrow) Q; (C) (\rightarrow \mathrm{R}); (D) (\rightarrow \mathrm{S})
  2. B(A) (\rightarrow) Q; (B) (\rightarrow) T; (C) (\rightarrow \mathrm{R}); (D) (\rightarrow \mathrm{S})
  3. C(A) (\rightarrow) P; (B) (\rightarrow) Q; (C) (\rightarrow) S; (D) (\rightarrow \mathrm{R})
  4. D(A) (\rightarrow) Q; (B) (\rightarrow) P; (C) (\rightarrow) S; (D) (\rightarrow \mathrm{R})

Correct answer

B. (A) (\rightarrow) Q; (B) (\rightarrow) T; (C) (\rightarrow \mathrm{R}); (D) (\rightarrow \mathrm{S})

Step-by-step solution

Two concentric spherical shells of non-zero masses are as shown in the figure :- ( Column I Column II (A) Potential at
(A) (\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{A}}=-\frac{\mathrm{Gm}_1}{\mathrm{r}_1}-\frac{\mathrm{Gm}_2}{\mathrm{R}_2} ; \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{B}}=-\frac{\mathrm{Gm}_1}{\mathrm{r}_2}-\frac{\mathrm{Gm}_2}{\mathrm{r}_2} \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{A}} < \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{B}}) (B) (I_{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{\mathrm{Gm}_1}{\mathrm{r}_1^2} ; I\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{\mathrm{G}\left(\mathrm{m}_1+\mathrm{m}_2\right)}{\mathrm{r}_2^2}) Can't compare as data is insufficient. (C) (\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{C}}=-\frac{\mathrm{Gm}_1}{\mathrm{R}_1}-\frac{\mathrm{Gm}_2}{\mathrm{R}_2} ; \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{D}}=-\frac{\mathrm{Gm}_1}{\mathrm{R}_1}-\frac{\mathrm{Gm}_2}{\mathrm{R}_2}) remains same (D) IA=Gm1r12;ID=Gm1R12ID>IA\begin{aligned} & I_A=\frac{G m_1}{r_1^2} ; I_D=\frac{G m_1}{R_1^2} \\ & I_D>I_A \end{aligned})$
