On the x-axis and a dsitance x from the origin, the gravitational field due to a mass distribution is given by {{Ax}}/{({x}^{2}+ {a}^{2} )^{3 \/ 2}} in the {x} -direction. The magnitude of gravitational potential on the {x} -axis at a distance {x}, taking its value to be zero at infinity, is : [4 Sep 2020 Shift 1]

Correct Answer is : A(x2+a2)1∕2

{{A}}/{({x}^{2}+ {a}^{2} )^{1 \/ 2}}

{{A}}/{({x}^{2}+ {a}^{2} )^{3 \/ 2}}

{{A}} {({x}^{2}+ {a}^{2} )^{3 \/ 2}}

{{A}} {({x}^{2}+ {a}^{2} )^{1 \/ 2}}
