The gravitational potential energy of a particle of mass \(m\) increases by \(mgh,\) when it is raised through a height \(h\) in a uniform gravitational field "\(g\)". If a particle of mass \(m\) is raised through a height \(h\) in the earth's gravitational field (\(g\): the field on the earth's surface) and the increase in gravitational potential energy is \(U\), then:
| 1. | \(U > mgh\) |
| 2. | \(U < mgh\) |
| 3. | \(U = mgh\) |
| 4. | any of the above may be true depending on the value of \(h,\) considered relative to the radius of the earth. |
