Two metal spheres of radius R and 3R have same surface charge density . If they are brought in contact and then separated, the surface charge density on smaller and bigger sphere become 1 and 2, respectively. The ratio 1 2 is

  2. 19
  3. 9
  4. 3

Answer

(4) 3

Solution

Initial charges: q1 = 4 R2, q2 = 4 (3R)2 = 9q1

Total charge Q = 10q1

On contact both spheres reach the same potential:

kq1'R = kq2'3R q2' = 3q1'

q1' = Q4, q2' = 3Q4

1 2 = q1'/(4 R2)q2'/(4 9R2) = q1'q2' 9

= 13 9 = 3

(In general, at equal potential 1r, so 1 2 = 3RR = 3.)

Answer: (4)
