Surface charge density on the $15\,cm$ sphere will be greater than that on the $20\,cm$ sphere

Vedclass · Answer

(c) After redistribution, charges on them will be different, but they will acquire common potential
i.e. $k\frac{{{Q_1}}}{{{r_1}}} = k\frac{{{Q_2}}}{{{r_2}}}$ $==>$ $\frac{{{Q_1}}}{{{Q_2}}} = \frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}}$
As $\sigma = \frac{Q}{{4\pi \,{r^2}}}$ $==>$ $\frac{{{\sigma _1}}}{{{\sigma _2}}} = \frac{{{Q_1}}}{{{Q_2}}} 	imes \frac{{r_2^2}}{{r_1^2}}$ $==>$ $\frac{{{\sigma _1}}}{{{\sigma _2}}} = \frac{{{r_2}}}{{{r_1}}}$ $==>$ $\sigma \propto \frac{1}{r}$
i.e. surface charge density on smaller sphere will be more.
