Two hollow conducting spheres of radii R_1 and R_2 (R_1 >> R_2) have equal charges. The potential would be :

1. dependent on the material property of the sphere

2. more on bigger sphere

3. more on smaller sphere

4. equal on both the spheres

Best answer

Answer: 3. more on smaller sphere

For a conducting sphere the potential is \(V=\dfrac{kQ}{R}\), depending only on charge and radius, not on the material.

The charges are equal, so \(V\propto 1/R\). Since \(R_2

Option (3) is correct. Equal potential (option 4) would need equal radii.
