Metallic sphere of radius R is charged t...

Metallic sphere of radius R is charged to potential V. Then charge q is proportional to

A

V

B

R

C

both V and R

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
As charge, `q = CV = (4pi epsi_(0)R)/(V)`
`therefore` q depends on both V and R.
