Two charged conducting spheres of radii a and b are connected by a wire. The ratio of the electric fields at their surfaces respectively, is

  1. A a:b
  2. B ab: 1
  3. C b: a
  4. D 1 :ab
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) b: a

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( V_a = V_b \Rightarrow \frac{kQ_a}{a} = \frac{kQ_b}{b} \Rightarrow Q_a = Q_b \frac{a}{b} \) \( \frac{E_a}{E_b} = \frac{kQ_a/a^2}{kQ_b/b^2} = \frac{Q_a b^2}{Q_b a^2} = \frac{(Q_b \frac{a}{b}) b^2}{Q_b a^2} = \frac{b}{a} \)
