Question
Inside a uniform spherical shell:
  1. The gravitational potential is zero.
  2. The gravitational field is zero.
  3. The gravitational potential is same everywhere.
  4. The gravitational field is same everywhere.

Answer

  1. The gravitational field is zero.
  2. The gravitational potential is same everywhere.
  3. The gravitational field is same everywhere.
Explanation:

Inside a uniform spherical shell, the gravitational field is the same everywhere and is equal to zero. The gravitational potential has a constant value inside a uniform spherical shell.
