Out of two copper spheres of the same size, x is hollow while y is solid. If they are charged at the same potential, what can be said about the charges on them?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Charge on both the spheres are equal
Charges on a conductor accumulate only on the surface. Therefore, a hollow sphere or a solid one, both will have exact same charge distribution and the exact same charge for given potential.
Charge on both spheres is equal.
