Consider two charged metallic spheres $S_{1}$ and $\mathrm{S}_{2}$ of radii $\mathrm{R}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{R}_{2},$ respectively. The electric $\left.\text { fields }\left.\mathrm{E}_{1} \text { (on } \mathrm{S}_{1}\right) \text { and } \mathrm{E}_{2} \text { (on } \mathrm{S}_{2}\right)$ on their surfaces are such that $\mathrm{E}_{1} / \mathrm{E}_{2}=\mathrm{R}_{1} / \mathrm{R}_{2} .$ Then the ratio $\left.\mathrm{V}_{1}\left(\mathrm{on}\; \mathrm{S}_{1}\right) / \mathrm{V}_{2} \text { (on } \mathrm{S}_{2}\right)$ of the electrostatic potentials on each sphere is
