JEE Main 4 September 2020, Shift 1, Physics Q5

Question 5 of 75 in this shift, Physics question 5 of 25.

On the xx-axis and at a distance xx from the origin, the gravitational field due to a mass distribution is given by Ax(x2+a2)3/2\frac{Ax}{(x^2+a^2)^{3/2}} in the xx-direction. The magnitude of gravitational potential on the xx-axis at a distance xx, taking its value to be zero at infinity, is :
  1. (1)A(x2+a2)3/2\frac{A}{(x^2+a^2)^{3/2}}
  2. (2)A(x2+a2)1/2\frac{A}{(x^2+a^2)^{1/2}}Official answer
  3. (3)A(x2+a2)3/2A(x^2+a^2)^{3/2}
  4. (4)A(x2+a2)1/2A(x^2+a^2)^{1/2}
