Schwarzschild Effective Potentials

lgale1988

Hello,

I have a question regarding the afore mentioned potential.

Simply put, what does it describe, I have an equation for it:

V^2 (r) = (1 - (2M/r)) (1 + ((L^2)/(r^2)))

Is this a description of the potential energy of a particle orbitting a schwarschild black hole?
