Two conducting spheres of radii 5 cm and 10 cm are given a charge of 15mu F each. After the two spheres are joined by a conducting wire, the charge on the smaller sphere is

Assertion : When two charged spheres are connected to each other by a thin conducting wire, charge flow bigger sphere to smaller sphere, if initial charges on them are same. Reason : Electrostatic potential energy will be lost in redistribution of charges.

Statement-1 : If two concentric conducing sphere which are connected by a conducting wire. No charge can exist on inner sphere. Statement-2: When charge on outer sphere will exist then potential of inner shell and outer shell will be same.

There are three concentric conducting spherical shells. All of them are charged. The innermost sphere is connected by a conducting wire to the outermost sphere. Prove that the final charge on the innermost sphere is independent of the initial charge of outermost sphere.

There are three concentric conducting spherical shells. All of them are charged. The innermost sphere is connected by a conducting wire to the outermost sphere. Prove that the final charge on the innermost sphere is independent of the initial charge of outermost sphere.

A small sphere of radius a carrying a positive charge q, is placed concentrically inside a larger hollowconducting sheli of radius b (bgt a). This outer shell has charge Q on it. Show that if these spheres are connected by a conducting wire, charge will always flow from the inner sphere to the outer sphuisirrespective of the magnitude of the two charges.
