2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy

The insulated spheres of radii ${R_1}$ and ${R_2}$ having charges ${Q_1}$and ${Q_2}$ respectively are connected to each other. There is

A

No change in the energy of the system

B

An increase in the energy of the system

C

Always a decrease in the energy of the system

D

A decrease in the energy of the system unless ${Q_1}{R_2} = {Q_2}{R_1}$

Solution

(d) When $\frac{{{Q_1}}}{{{R_1}}} \ne \frac{{{Q_2}}}{{{R_2}}};$ current will flow in connecting wire so that energy decreases in the form of heat through the connecting wire.
