The gravitational potential energy of a body of mass $m$ at the earth's surface is $-mgR_e$. Its gravitational potential energy at a height $R_e$ from the earth's surface will be (Here $R_e$ is the radius of the earth).

$A$ body of mass $m$ is taken from the Earth's surface to a height $h$ equal to twice the radius of the Earth $(R_e)$. The increase in potential energy will be: (where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth)

If the potential at the surface of the Earth is assigned a zero value,then the potential at the center of the Earth will be (Mass $= M$,Radius $= R$).
