Electric Potential & Equipotentials question from JEE Main 2024 (8 Apr, Shift 1)

Q46JEE Main 2024 · 8 APR · SHIFT 1Easy

Electric Potential & Equipotentials

Two charged conducting spheres of radii $a$ and $b$ are connected to each other by a conducting wire. The ratio of charges of the two spheres respectively is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

Connected by a wire, both spheres are at the same potential: $\frac{kq_1}{a} = \frac{kq_2}{b}$
$\frac{q_1}{q_2} = \frac{a}{b}$
So the answer is (c) $\frac{a}{b}$ .
