Question
1wo spherical conductors $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ of radii $\mathrm{lmm}$ and $2 \mathrm{~mm}$ are separated by a distance of $5 \mathrm{~mm}$ and are uniformly charged. If the spheres are connected by a conducting wire then in equilibrium condition, the ratio of the magnitude of the electric fields at the surfaces of sphere of $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ is(A) $1: 2$(B) $2: 1$(C) $4: 1$(D) $1: 4$
Step 1
When the spheres are connected by a conducting wire, they reach an equilibrium state. In this state, the potentials of the spheres become equal, i.e., $V_1 = V_2 = V$. Show more…
