AIPMT MAINS 2012 Physics Conductors and Insulators MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
Two metallic spheres of radii 1 cm and 3 cm are given charges of −1×10⁻² C and 5×10⁻² C, respectively. If these are connected by a conducting wire, the final charge on the bigger sphere is:
A
2×10⁻² C
B
3×10⁻² C
C
4×10⁻² C
D
1×10⁻² C
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
At equilibrium, the potential of both spheres becomes the same. Using the formula for charge distribution, the final charge on the bigger sphere is calculated to be 3×10⁻² C.
