Two isolated conducting spheres \(S_{1}\) and \(S_{2}\) of radius \(\frac{2}{3} R\) and \(\frac{1}{3} R\) have \(12\, \mu C\) and \(-3\, \mu C\) charges, respectively, and are at a large distance from each other. They are now  onnected by a conducting wire. A long time after this is done the charges on \(S_{1}\) and \(S_{2}\) are respectively

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(6\, \mu C\) and \(3\, \mu C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Now

\(Q _{1}+ Q _{2}= Q _{1}+ Q _{2}^{\prime}=12 \mu C -3 \mu C =9 \mu C\)

\(\& V_1=V_{2} \Rightarrow \frac{K Q_{1}^{\prime}}{\frac{2 R}{3}}=\frac{K Q_{2}^{\prime}}{\frac{R}{3}}\)

\(Q _{1}^{\prime}=2 Q _{2}^{\prime} \Rightarrow 2 Q _{2}^{\prime}+ Q _{2}^{\prime}=9 \mu C\)

\(\Rightarrow Q _{2}^{\prime}=3 \mu C\)

\(\ \quad Q_{1}^{\prime}=6 \mu C\)
