The radii of two metallic spheres P and Q are r 1 and r 2 respectively. They are given the same charge. If 
. then on connecting them with a thin wire, the charge will flow
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Since charge flows from high potential to lower potential.
If positive charge is given, then V 1 < V 2 as r 1 > r 2
So positive charge flows from Q → → P
If negative charge is given, then V 1 > V 2
So negative charge flows form P → → Q.
Since it is not given that whether the charge given is positive or negative, hence the information is incomplete.
