Two uniformly charged spherical conductors \(A\) and \(B\) of radii \(5 mm\) and \(10 mm\) are separated by a distance of \(2 cm\). If the spheres are connected by a conducting wire, then in equilibrium condition, the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric fields at the surface of the sphere \(A\) and \(B\) will be .
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(2:1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(V _{ A }= V _{ B }\)
\(\frac{ KQ _{ A }}{ R _{ A }}=\frac{ KQ _{ B }}{ R _{ B }}\)
\(\frac{ Q _{ A }}{ Q _{ B }}=\frac{ R _{ A }}{ R _{ B }}=\frac{1}{2}\)
\(E _{ A }=\frac{ KQ _{ A }}{ R _{ A }^{2}} ; E _{ B }=\frac{ KQ _{ B }}{ R _{ B }^{2}}\)
\(\frac{ E _{ A }}{ E _{ B }}=\frac{ Q _{ A }}{ Q _{ B }} \times \frac{ R _{ B }{ }^{2}}{ R _{ A }{ }^{2}}=\frac{ R _{ B }}{ R _{ A }}=\frac{2}{1}\)
