question 136

Multiple Choice

A charge is placed on a spherical conductor of radius r₁.This sphere is then connected to a distant sphere of radius r₂ (not equal to r₁) by a conducting wire.After the charges on the spheres are in equilibrium,

• A)the electric fields at the surfaces of the two spheres are equal.
• B)the amount of charge on each sphere is q/2.
• C)both spheres are at the same potential.
• D)the potentials are in the ratio \(\frac { V _ { 2 } } { V _ { 1 } } = \frac { q _ { 2 } } { q _ { 1 } }\) .
• E)the potentials are in the ratio \(\frac { V _ { 2 } } { V _ { 1 } } = \frac { r _ { 2 } } { r _ { 1 } }\) .
