A and B are two conducting spheres of the same radius, A being solid and B hollow. Both have same field on their surface. What will be the relation between the charges on the two spheres?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the charges on two conducting spheres, A (solid) and B (hollow), given that they have the same electric field on their surfaces. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Conductors**: - Both A and B are conducting spheres with the same radius. - For a conducting sphere, any charge placed on it will reside on its surface. This is true for both solid and hollow conductors. ...
