Two equally charged spheres A and B wit...

Two equally charged spheres A and B with radii `r_(A) and r_(B)(r_(A) gt r_(B))` are connected by a conducting wire. Will the charge density on both the spheres become equal after connection?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question of whether the charge density on both spheres A and B will become equal after they are connected by a conducting wire, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: We have two spheres, A and B, with radii \( r_A \) and \( r_B \) respectively, where \( r_A > r_B \). Both spheres are equally charged initially. 2. **Connecting the Spheres**: ...
