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.

When two concentric shells are connected by a thin conducting wire, whole of the charge of inner shell transfers to the outer shell and potential difference between them becomes zero. Surface charge densities of two thin concentric spherical shells are sigma and -sigma respectively. Their radii are R and 2R . Now they are connected by a thin wire.
