    Question

    Two spherical conductors of radii 2 cm and 8 cm are

    connected. The ratio of charges on them at equilibrium is:
    A 1: 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1: 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2: 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1: 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    When connected, both spheres attain the same potential. Potential V = q/r ⇒ q₁/r₁ = q₂/r₂ ⇒ q₁/q₂ = r₁/r₂ So, q₁/q₂ = 2/8 = 1: 4.
