Gravitational potential

Define gravitational potential (VVV) at a point.

A
  • Work done per unit mass
  • by the gravitational field
  • moving a mass from that point to infinity.
B
  • Force acting per unit mass
  • due to the gravitational field
  • on a mass placed at that point.
C
  • Work done per unit mass
  • by an external force
  • moving a mass from infinity to that point.
D
  • Work done per unit charge
  • by an external force
  • moving a charge from infinity to that point.
