A solid conducting sphere holds more charge than a hollow sphere of the same radius when they are at same potential.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

False - Capacitance of a solid sphere is same as that of a hollow sphere of same radius and has a value `C = 4 pi epsi_0r`. Hence, for a given potential charge on solid sphere is same as that on a hollow sphere.
