J/kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit of gravitational potential is J/kg.

Gravitational potential is the amount of energy needed to bring a unit mass of charge from an external point to that field.

  • The difference between the point and that of zero potential is the gravitational potential.
  • It is gravitational potential energy per unit mass.
  • The symbol is V.
