Two charged spherical conductors, each o...

Two charged spherical conductors, each of radius R, are distant `d (d lt 2R) .` They carry charges +qand -q will the force of attraction between them be exactly ` (q^(2))/(4pi in _0d^(2)) ` ? Give reasons of your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No , the force of attraction between charged spherical conductors will be more than `(q^(2))/(4pi in _0d^(2)) ` . On account of mutual attractive force there will be a redistribution of charges on the spheres as shown in As a result, effective distance between them is reduced and the force increases.
