Q163 / 170 · Manipal (MET) 2018 · Physics

A small sphere is charged to a potential of 50 V and a big hollow sphere is charged to potential of 100 V . Charge will flow from the smaller sphere to the bigger one when

  • Correct answer
    A
    the smaller one is placed inside the bigger one and connected by a wire
  • B
    the bigger one is placed inside the smaller one and connected by means of a wire
  • C
    bigger one placed by the side of the smaller one and connected by a wire
  • D
    smaller one placed by the side of the bigger one

Solution

The charge will flow from the outer surface of smaller one to bigger one only in case (1).

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
