JEE PHYSICS MCQ: ELECTRIC FIELDS AND CHARGES

1 Medium

1 of 1

Application +4 | -1

Two isolated metallic solid spheres of radii

R

and

2 R

are charged such that both have same charge density

\sigma

. The spheres are then connected by a thin conducting wire. If the new charge density of the bigger sphere is

\sigma^{\prime}

. The ratio

\frac{\sigma^{\prime}}{\sigma}

is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

\frac{5}{6}

Option A (

\frac{5}{6}

) is correct because the new charge density is calculated by considering the total charge and the new surface area of the larger sphere.

Assertion:- Electric field lines do not cut at any point.
Reason:- At any point, there is only one direction of electric field. Statement-I: A positive point charge is brought in an electric field, the electric field at neary by point will increase

Statement-II: Electric field produced by charge may favour the existing electric filed Two particles having equal mass and charge
are separated by a distance
