Two hollow conducting spheres of radii R 1 and R 2 R 1 ≫ R 2 have equal charges. The potential would be:

Two hollow conducting spheres of radii R1 and R2 R1≫R2 have equal charges. The potential would be:
  1. more on smaller sphere
  2. equal on both the spheres
  3. dependent on the material property of the sphere
  4. more on bigger sphere

Solution

Potential at the surface of the spheres will be given by, V=kQR. As charge on both the spheres is equal, therefore, smaller sphere will have higher potential. ^
