Question

A charge is placed on a spherical conductor of radius r, This sphere is then connected to the distant sphere of radius r (r r) by a conducting wire. After the charges on the spheres reach electrostatic equalibrium a)The electric fields at the surface of the two spheres are equal b)the amount of charge on each sphere is q/2 c)both spheres are at the same potential d)the potentials are in the ratio V, qq e)the potentials are in the ratio V2Vr Please include derivations and explanations how you get the answer because I'm looking to understand this better

Explanation / Answer

When two spheres are connected with wire then potential of both spheres have to be equal... and we know potential V= kq/r so potential is directly proportional to q/r or we can say V1/V2 = q1r2/q2r1 and electric field will not be equal...

Option (C) is correct potential of both sphere is equal...
