Two spherical conductors A and B of radii R and 2R respectively, are separated by a large distance. If some charge is given to both the spheres and later they are connected by a conducting wire, then in equilibrium condition, the ratio of the magnitude of the electric fields at the surface of spheres A and B is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
When the spherical conductors are connected by a conducting wire, charge is redistributed and the spheres attain a common potential V.
Intensity 
or
