Question

Two metallic spheres of same radii, one hollow and one solid, are charged to the same potential. Which will hold more charge?

• A. Solid sphere
• B. Both will hold same charge
• C. Hollow sphere
• D. Cannot predict

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both will hold same charge

Both the spheres - hollow and solid will hold same amount of charge. Because both will have same capacitance which depends on radii of the sphere, not on hollow or solid.
