Question
How the gravitational field at a point inside a solid sphere vary with distance x from its centre, if x <R and x > R (R-radius)?

Answer

$\text{E}_{\text{g}}\propto\text{x if x}<\text{R and E}_{\text{g}}\propto\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}\text{ if x}>\text{R}$

Suppose a charged particle moves with a velocity v near a wire carrying an electric current. A magnetic force, therefore, acts on it. If the same particle is seen from a frame moving with velocity v in the same direction, the charge will be found at rest. Will the magnetic force become zero in this frame? Will the magnetic field become zero in this frame?
