Assertion: A body kept inside a spherical shell does not experience any gravitational force.
Reason: The body inside a spherical shell is protected from the gravitational attraction of bodies outside the shell.
Reason: The body inside a spherical shell is protected from the gravitational attraction of bodies outside the shell.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If both Assertion & Reason are false
Option D is correct because a body inside a spherical shell experiences no net gravitational force, and this is because of the symmetrical distribution of mass, not protection from external bodies.
