Answer:

Correct Answer: 7. (b)

Solution:

(b) At equilibrium potential of both sphere becomes same if charge of sphere one $x$ and other sphere $(Q - x)$ then

where $Q = 4 \times 10^{- 2} C$

$V_{1} = V_{2}$

$\frac{k x}{1 c m} = \frac{k (Q - x)}{3 c m}$

$3 x = Q - x \Rightarrow 4 x = Q$

$x = \frac{Q}{4} = \frac{4 \times 10^{- 2}}{4} C = 1 \times 10^{- 2}$

$Q^{'} = Q - x = 3 \times 10^{- 2} C$

Charge given to a conductor always resides on its outer surface. If surface is uniform the charge distributes uniformly on the surface and for irregular surface the distribution of charge i.e., charge density is not uniform. It is maximum where the radius of curvature is maximum and vice-versa i.e., $σ \propto \frac{1}{R}$ .
