Consider a system composed of two metallic spheres of radii `r_(1) and r_(2)` conneced by a thin wire and switch S as shown in the figure. Initially S is in open position. And the spheres carry charges `q_(1) and q_(2)` respectively. If the switch is closed, the potential of the system is

A

`(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0))(q_(1)q_(2))/(r_(1)r_(2))`

B

`(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0))((q_(1)+q_(2))/(r_(1)+r_(2)))`

C

`(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0))((q_(1))/(r_(1))+(q_(2))/(r_(2)))`

D

`(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0))((q_(1)+q_(2))/(sqrt(r_(1)r_(2))))`
