What is Gravitational Field?

The gravitational field is similar to the

electromagnetic field, that is, electric and
magnetic fields for charged particles and
magnets, respectively. As gravitational field
force is the weakest force, electromagnetic field
forces become dominant over it.
 What are the two ways of showing the
gravitational field around an object ?

Arrows show the Field lines show the

magnitude and direction
of the force at different
points in space. The longer
the arrow, the greater the
magnitude.

 Gravitational Field Intensity
The intensity of the gravitational fields
or, what is the same, the acceleration
of gravity (or simply gravity) is
represented in classical physics by the The formula for its
symbol g and as a vector field, that is, calculation, then, would
of lines endowed with meaning and be:
direction .
g = lim m → 0 F / m,
where m would be a test
It is commonly defined as the force per mass and F the
unit of mass that a particular particle gravitational force
will experience in the presence of a acting on it.
mass distribution. It is usually expressed
in Newtons per kilogram (N / kg).
Formula for Gravitational Field

Where,
G is universal gravitational constant,
m1 and m2 are mass of bodies
r is the radius between the two masses
