Gravitational Field A gravitational field is the region around a mass, like Earth, where other masses experience a force of attraction. For example, objects fall to the ground because they are within Earth's gravitational field. Gravitational Potential Gravitational potential is the work done to move a unit mass from a very far distance (infinity) to a specific point in the gravitational field. It indicates how much energy is needed to bring an object to that point. For instance, it takes more energy to lift an object higher above the ground because the gravitational potential increases with height. read less

The gravitational field is a region around a mass where another mass experiences a force due to gravity. Gravitational potential, on the other hand, is the amount of work needed to move a unit mass from a reference point to a specific point in the gravitational field, often measured in joules per kilogram...

Working as Tutor

The gravitational force acting over unit mass in the field is known as Gravitational Feild at the point while gravitational potential is defined as the amount of work done by the external agent while bringing a unit mass from infinity to the external field provided with constant speed!

Physics tutor for all students

The gravitational field intensity at a point is the measure of the gravitational force exerted on a unit mass located at that position. The gravitational potential at a specific position is the amount of potential energy that a unit mass would have at that point within the gravitational field.

Gravitational field A gravitational field is the force field that exists in the space around every mass or group of masses. This field extends out in all directions, but the magnitude of the gravitational force decreases as the distance from the object increases. Gravitational potential Gravitational potential is a scalar field associating with each point in space the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that point from a fixed reference point. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge. The reference point, where the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance. In mathematics, the gravitational potential is also known as the Newtonian potential and is fundamental in the study of potential theory. It may also be used for solving the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields generated by uniformly charged or polarized ellipsoidal bodies. read less

A gravitational field is the force field that exists in the space around every mass or group of masses. Gravitational potential at any point in gravitational field is defined as the work done on unit mass to bring it from infinity to that point.
