Vedclass · Answer

(A) Concept: When a conductor is charged,the charge resides entirely on its outer surface due to the mutual repulsion between like charges.
Since both spheres have the same radius,their outer surface areas are identical.
Therefore,the maximum amount of charge that can be stored on the surface before dielectric breakdown of the surrounding medium occurs is the same for both.
Thus,both metallic spheres (solid or hollow) can be charged equally.

There are two metallic spheres of same radii,but one is solid and the other is hollow. Then:
