Question

Equal charges are given to two conducting spheres of different radii. The potential will be

• A. more on the smaller sphere
• B. more on the bigger sphere
• C. equal on both the spheres
• D. Dependent on the nature of the materials of the spheres

Answer 1

The correct option is A more on the smaller sphere

$V=\frac{kq}{R}$ i.e. $V\propto \frac{1}{R}$
$\therefore$ Potential on smaller sphere will be more.
