When two isolated conductors A and B are connected by a conducting wire positive charge will flow from .

A

A to B

B

B to A

C

will not flow

D

can not say.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Charge always flows from higher potential body to lower potential body
Hence, `V_(A)=(30)/(10)=3V rArr V_(B)=(20)/(5)=4V " " "As" V_(B) gt V_(A) :. (B)` is correct Answer.
