Q.	Intensity of gravitational field of earth is maximum at –
A.	Poles
B.	Equator
C.	Centre of earth
D.	Surface
Answer» A. Poles
Explanation: perfect sphere of spherically uniform density (density varies solely with distance from centre) would produce a gravitational field of uniform magnitude at all points on its surface. always pointing directly towards the sphere's centre. However, the Earth deviates slightly from this ideal, and there are consequently slight deviations in both the magnitude and direction of gravity across its surface.
