Two uniformly charged spherical conductors $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ of radii $\mathrm{5 \mathrm{~mm}}$ and $\mathrm{10 \mathrm{~mm}}$ are separated by a distance of $\mathrm{ 2\mathrm{~cm}.}$ If the spheres are connected by a conducting wire, then in equilibrium condition, the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric fields at the surface of the sphere $\mathrm{ A}$ and $\mathrm{ B}$ will be :
Option: 1
$1: 2$

When the spheres are connated by conducting wire, their potential will be same

$\mathrm{V_1=V_2 }$

$\mathrm{\frac{K Q_1}{R_1}=\frac{K Q_2}{R_2} }$

$\mathrm{\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}=\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{1}{2}}$

Electic field on the surface of the sphere

$\mathrm{ E=\frac{K Q}{R^2} }$

$\mathrm{ \frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{Q_1 R_2^2}{Q_2 R_1^2}=\frac{2}{1} }$

Electric field on the surface of the one sphere is independent of other. (as separation is large as compare to size of sphere)

Hence (2) is correct option.
