Two hollow conducting spheres of radii R 1 and R 2 R 1 ≫ R 2 have equal charges. The potential would be:
Options
- Amore on smaller sphere
- Bequal on both the spheres
- Cdependent on the material property of the sphere
- Dmore on bigger sphere
Correct answer
A. more on smaller sphere
Step-by-step solution
Potential at the surface of the spheres will be given by, V = k Q R . As charge on both the spheres is equal, therefore, smaller sphere will have higher potential.
