Question

The gravitational field g at a point is defined as:
Options
A The gravitational force on a mass m at that point.
B The gravitational potential energy per unit mass at that point.
C The gravitational force per unit mass at that point.
Correct Answer
D The work done to bring a mass from infinity.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

defines the gravitational field g as the force per unit mass acting on a test mass m0: g = F/m0. It is a vector quantity.

Hint

It's analogous to the electric field, which is force per unit charge.
