Two thin spherical shells made of metal are at a large distance apart. One of radius 10 cm carries a charge of +0.5 µC and the other of radius 20 cm carries a charge of +0.7 µC. The charge on each, when they are connected by a suitable conducting wire is respectively
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
0. 4 and 0.8 µ C
Let us assume that the initial charges on the spheres were 
and 
respectively and the final charges on the spheres are 
and 
. Finally the potential of both the spheres is the same.
