The radius of two metallic spheres $A$ and $B$ are ${r_1}$ and ${r_2}$ respectively $({r_1} > {r_2})$. They are connected by a thin wire and the system is given a certain charge. The charge will be greater

A

On the surface of the sphere $B$

B

On the surface of the sphere $A$

C

Equal on both

D

Zero on both

Solution

(b) After connection of wire, potential becomes equal
 $\frac{{{Q_1}}}{{{r_1}}} = \frac{{{Q_2}}}{{{r_2}}}$ $==>$ $\frac{{{Q_1}}}{{{Q_2}}} = \frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}}$ when $r_1$ $>$ $r_2$, then ${Q_1} > {Q_2}$
