As we learn

 

 

Gravitational field Intensity -

Space or surrounding in which a material body feels the gravitational force of attraction.

It is denoted by I

If the mass of a body is m then I is given by

\vec{I}=\frac{\vec{F}}{m}

For a test mass gravitational force acting due to earth is mg

So gravitational field strength will be equal to g value.

 So the value of the gravitational field strength is maximum at the surface of the eath.
