Question

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

A

Be more on the smaller sphere

B

Be more on the bigger sphere

C

Be equal on both the spheres

D

Depend on the nature of the materials of the spheres

Answer

Be more on the smaller sphere

Explanation

Solution

$V = \frac{kq}{R}$ i.e. $V \propto \frac{1}{R}$

∴ Potential on smaller sphere will be more
