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

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.

As IIT & board exams are coming near , students you are free ask any doubt in PCM boards or IIT/BITSAT . I completely understand the pressure , anxiety at this time. But maintain calm at this time & be happy .Don't take any stress and just keep on studying with the flow . Truly speaking the person who is studying till the end with happiness only crack these competitive exams easily. Many students leave studying in the last due to tension or piling of massive course. One suggestion for these students is, whatever will going to happen in future is not in your hands , what really in your hands is --> this time !! so just give your best in this time and forget everything else. Don't feel that others have studied more than me, or they have been studying from 2 years or starting , because anything can happen in the last , this is a true fact !! It's about your processor not Harddisk meaning it's about how your brain run at that time in the exams , not specifically about how much you have stored. I myself have seen many people who have got very good ranks by just studying properly in last two months over those students who have been studying for 2 years continously . So remain motivated and give whatever you have to your studies . But very important thing remain happy and enjoy studies. I will be telling other tips & tricks to complete maximum portion in the last in less time . Keep tuned to my future posts.
As a chance to prove yourself and evaluated by a traditional way to the student. Student should not fear but make .
