In a certain region of space,the gravitational field is given by $E = -\frac{K}{r}$,where $r$ is the distance from a fixed point and $K$ is a constant. Taking the reference point to be at $r = r_0$ with potential $V = V_0$,the potential at a distance $r$ is:

  • A
    $V = -V_0 + K \ln \left( \frac{r}{r_0} \right)$
  • B
    $V = V_0 + K \ln \left( \frac{r}{r_0} \right)$
  • C
    $V = V_0 + K \ln \left( \frac{r_0}{r} \right)$
  • D
    None of these
