Two uniformly charged spherical conductors A and B of radii 5mm and...
Two uniformly charged spherical conductors and of radii and are separated by a distance of . 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 and will be
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
When two conductors are connected by a conducting wire, their potentials become equal. Therefore,
The potential of a spherical conductor is given by,
Now the electric field near the surface of the conductor will be,
