Question 45 of 223

This question contains Statement −1-1 and Statement-2. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement - I:

For a mass
MM kept at the centre of a cube of side ' aa ', the flux of gravitational field passing through its sides is 4π4 \pi GM.
and

Statement - II

If the direction of a field due to a point source is radial and its dependence on the distance '
rr ' for the source is given as 1/r21 / r^2, its flux through a closed surface depends only on the strength of the source enclosed by the surface and not on the size or shape of the surface

Show answer and solution

Answer: (B) Statement −1-1 is true, Statement −2-2 is true; Statement −2-2 is correct explanation for Statement-1.

g=GM/r2\mathrm{g}=\mathrm{GM} / \mathrm{r}^2
