Question

The Relation between Gravitational
field and gravitational potential is:​

Answer 1

Answer:

The gravitational field is the negative differential of the gravitational potential. Now the gravitational potential due to a particle at a distance r is −Gm/r where m is the mass of the particle.

Answer 2

Answer:

The gravitational field is the negative differential of the gravitational potential. Now the gravitational potential due to a particle at a distance r is −Gm/r where m is the mass of the particle. If I take the negative differential of this potential I get −Gm/r2, which should be the magnitude of the gravitational field due to that particle at a distance r.
