. If the two spheres are shorted, then charge will be transferred
A
from smaller to bigger B
from bigger to smaller C
from smaller to bigger D
from bigger to smaller
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
When spheres are shorted, the potential become same for both the spheres, i.e,
Total charge 
charge will flow from smaller to bigger sphere.
