- At what distance (in metre) from the centre of the Moon, the intensity of gravitational field will be zero?
(Take, mass of Earth and Moon as\( 5.98\times10^{24}\) kg and \(7.35\times 10^{22}\) kg respectively and the distance between Moon and Earth is \(3.85×10^8\) m)- JIPMER MBBS - 2018

- A thin diamagnetic rod is placed vertically between the poles of an electromagnet. When the current in the electromagnet is switched on, then the diamagnetic rod is pushed up, out of the horizontal magnetic field. Hence the rod gains gravitational potential energy. The work required to do this comes from
