What is the relationship between gravitational field strength and gravitational potential?
They are of the same size but opposite in direction
Gravitational potential is a derivative of gravitational field strength
The intensity of the gravitational field is derived from the gravitational potential
There is no relationship between the two
Gravitational potential (V) is defined as the amount of work done per unit mass in bringing an object from infinity to a point in space and is given by the formula .
A negative sign means that work is done against the force of gravity.
The gravitational field intensity ( ) is related to the gravitational potential by the formula , where is the derivative of the gravitational potential with respect to distance.
