Out of two copper spheres of the same size, x is hollow while y is solid. If they are charged at the same potential, what can be said about the charges on them ?

  1. A sphere \(y\) will have more charge.
  2. B sphere \(x\) will have more charge.
  3. C charge on both the spheres is zero.
  4. D charge on both the spheres is equal.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) charge on both the spheres is equal.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(D)
for bollow sphere \(V _1=\frac{k Q _1}{ R _1}\)
for solid sphere \(\quad V_2=\frac{k Q_2}{R_2}\)
but \(V_1=V_2\) and \(R_1=R_2\)
so \(Q_1=Q_2\)
