Electric Potential & Equipotentials

Two hollow conducting spheres of radii R1 and R2 (R1 >> R2) have equal charges. The potential would be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. For a sphere V=kQRV = \frac{kQ}{R}; with equal QQ, V∝1RV \propto \frac{1}{R}
  2. R1≫R2⇒V2>V1R_1 \gg R_2 \Rightarrow V_2 > V_1
  3. So the answer is (b) more on the smaller sphere.
