There are two metallic spheres A and B having radii equal to R and 2R respectively. A charge Q is distributed on these two spheres such that the two spheres have equal surface charge densities. The ratio of charge on A to charge on B is :

  1. A 1 : 4
  2. B 4 : 1
  3. C 4 : 5
  4. D 5 : 4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1 : 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \sigma_A = \sigma_B \) \( \frac{Q_A}{4\pi R_A^2} = \frac{Q_B}{4\pi R_B^2} \) \( \frac{Q_A}{Q_B} = \frac{R_A^2}{R_B^2} \) \( \frac{Q_A}{Q_B} = \frac{R^2}{(2R)^2} = \frac{R^2}{4R^2} = \frac{1}{4} \)
