Two spherical conductors 
and 
of radii 1 mm and 2 mm are separated by a distance of 5 cm and are uniformly charged. If the spheres are connected by a conducting wire then in equilibrium condition, the ratio of the magnitude of the electric fields at the surfaces of spheres 
and 
is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
When the two conducting spheres are connected by a conducting wire, charge will flow from one sphere (having higher potential) to other (having lower potential) till both acquire the same potential.
Therefore, 
The Ratio of electric field;
