  • Two uniformly charged spherical conductors  and  of radii <img al

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 :

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.
