JEE Main 2016 (Offline) | Gravitation Question 164 | Physics

A satellite is revolving in a circular orbit at a height $$'h'$$ from the earth's surface (radius of earth $$R;h < < R$$). The minimum increase in its orbital velocity required, so that the satellite could escape from the earth's gravitational field, is close to : (Neglect the effect of atmosphere.)

$$\sqrt{2 g R}$$

$$\sqrt{g R}$$
