Electrostatics Question 378
Question: Equal charges are given to two spheres of different radii. The potential will [MP PMT/PET 1998; MH CET 2000]
Options:
A) Be more on the smaller sphere
B) Be more on the bigger sphere
C) Be equal on both the spheres
D) Depend on the nature of the materials of the spheres
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ V=\frac{kq}{R} $ i.e. $ V\propto \frac{1}{R} $
Potential on smaller sphere will be more.
