What should be the charge on a sphere of radius 2 cm so that when it is brought in contact with another sphere of radius 5 cm carrying a charge of $10 μ C$ , there is no transfer of charge between the spheres?

Solution

Their potential must be same for the charge transfer to occur .So
$\frac{K \times q_{1}}{r_{1}}$ = $\frac{K \times q_{2}}{r_{2}}$
$q_{1} = (\frac{q_{2}}{r_{2}}) \times r_{1}$
$q_{1} = 10 \times \frac{10^{- 6}}{5} \times 2$
$q_{1} = 4 μ C$

What should be the charge on a sphere of radius 2 cm so that when it is brought in contact with another sphere of radius 5 cm carrying a charge of 10μC, there is no transfer of charge between the spheres?

Their potential must be same for the charge transfer to occur .SoK×q1r1=K×q2r2q1=(q2r2)×r1q1=10×10−65×2q1=4μC
