Electrostatics Question 374
Question: Two insulated charged conducting spheres of radii and respectively and having an equal charge of are connected by a copper wire and then they are separated. Then [MP PET 1997]
Options:
A) Both the spheres will have the same charge of
B) Surface charge density on the
C) Surface charge density on the
D) Surface charge density on the two spheres will be equal
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
After redistribution, charges on them will be different, but they will acquire common potential i.e.
