$A$ spherical charged conductor has surface charge density $\sigma$. The electric field on its surface is $E$ and the electric potential of the conductor is $V$. Now,the radius of the sphere is halved while keeping the charge constant. The new values of the electric field and potential would be:

  • A
    $2E, 2V$
  • B
    $4E, 2V$
  • C
    $4E, 4V$
  • D
    $2E, 4V$
