Question

Two spherical conductors a and b of radii ra and rb ( ra> rb)
are given equal amounts of charge In which direction will the
charge flow when these spheres are brought in contact Give reason

Vara · Accepted Answer

Electric potential on charged sphere:V=14πε0qrAs charges are equal on either spheres,VaVb=rbraAs ra > rb, it is clear that Vb > VaHence, the charge flows high potentital to low potential, that is, b to a

Two spherical conductors a and b of radii ra and rb ( ra> rb) are given equal amounts of charge. In which direction will the charge flow when these spheres are brought in contact. Give reason.
