Q65 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (26 Jul Shift 2) · Physics
Two uniformly charged spherical conductors and of radii and are separated by a distance of . If the spheres are connected by a conducting wire, then in equilibrium condition, the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric fields at the surface of the sphere and will be
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
When two conductors are connected by a conducting wire, their potentials become equal. Therefore,
The potential of a spherical conductor is given by,
Now the electric field near the surface of the conductor will be,
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
