Two isolated solid metallic spheres AA and BB have radii in the ratio 1:21 : 2. They are given net charges in the ratio 3:43 : 4. What will be the ratio of the electric potentials at their surfaces, VA:VBV_A : V_B?

Options

  1. A3:23 : 2
  2. B2:32 : 3
  3. C3:83 : 8
  4. D3:13 : 1

Correct answer

A. 3:23 : 2

Step-by-step solution

The electric potential at the surface of an isolated solid metallic sphere is given by V=14πϵ0QRV = \dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \dfrac{Q}{R}.

For spheres AA and BB, the ratio of their potentials is:

VAVB=QAQB×RBRA\dfrac{V_A}{V_B} = \dfrac{Q_A}{Q_B} \times \dfrac{R_B}{R_A}

Given RARB=12\dfrac{R_A}{R_B} = \dfrac{1}{2} and QAQB=34\dfrac{Q_A}{Q_B} = \dfrac{3}{4}, substituting these values:

VAVB=34×21=32\dfrac{V_A}{V_B} = \dfrac{3}{4} \times \dfrac{2}{1} = \dfrac{3}{2}

The ratio of the electric potentials is 3:23 : 2.

Answer: 3:23 : 2
