JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance

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 .

  1. A \(1:2\)
  2. B \(2:1\)
  3. C \(1:1\)
  4. D \(1:4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2:1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V _{ A }= V _{ B }\) \(\frac{ KQ _{ A }}{ R _{ A }}=\frac{ KQ _{ B }}{ R _{ B }}\) \(\frac{ Q _{ A }}{ Q _{ B }}=\frac{ R _{ A }}{ R _{ B }}=\frac{1}{2}\) \(E _{ A }=\frac{ KQ _{ A }}{ R _{ A }^{2}} ; E _{ B }=\frac{ KQ _{ B }}{ R _{ B }^{2}}\)…
