Let V and E represent the gravitational potential and field at a distance r from the centre of a uniform solid sphere. Consider the two statements:
(A) the plot of V against r is discontinuous.
(B) The plot of E against r is discontinuous.
पर्याय
Both A and B are correct.
A is correct but B is wrong.
B is correct but A is wrong.
Both A and B are wrong.
उत्तर
Both A and B are wrong.
