Two conducting spheres $A$ and $B$ have radii $1 \, mm$ and $2 \, mm$ respectively and are charged. They are placed at a distance of $5 \, cm$. When they are connected by a conducting wire,the ratio of the electric field intensities on their surfaces at equilibrium is:

  • A
    $2 : 1$
  • B
    $1 : 4$
  • C
    $4 : 1$
  • D
    $1 : 2$

Assertion: $A$ positive charge particle is placed in front of a spherical uncharged conductor. The number of lines of force terminating on the sphere will be more than those emerging from it.
Reason: The surface charge density at a point on the sphere nearest to the point charge will be negative and maximum in magnitude compared to other points on the sphere.

Two charged conducting spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ of radii $8 \text{ cm}$ and $18 \text{ cm}$ are connected to each other by a wire. After equilibrium is established, the ratio of electric fields on $S_1$ and $S_2$ spheres are $E_{S_1}$ and $E_{S_2}$ respectively. The value of $\frac{E_{S_1}}{E_{S_2}}$ is . . . . . . .

Consider three concentric metallic spheres $A, B$ and $C$ of radii $a, b, c$ respectively,where $a < b < c$. $A$ and $B$ are connected,whereas $C$ is grounded. The potential of the middle sphere $B$ is raised to $V$. Then the charge on the sphere $C$ is

$12 \mu C$ and $6 \mu C$ charges are given to two conducting plates having the same cross-sectional area and placed face to face close to each other as shown in the figure. The resulting charge distribution in $\mu C$ on surfaces $A, B, C$ and $D$ are respectively,

The metal plate on the left in the figure carries a charge of $+q$. The metal plate on the right has a charge of $-2q$. What charge will flow through the switch $S$ when it is closed,if the central plate is initially neutral?
