Two spherical conductors B and C having ...

Two spherical conductors B and C having equal radii and carrying equal charges in them repel each other with a force F when kept apart at some distance. A third spherical conductor A having same radius as that of B but uncharged, is brought in contact with B, then brought in contact with C and finally removed away from both. The new force of repulsion between B and C is

A

`F/4`

B

`(3F)/4`

C

`F/8`

D

`(3F)/8`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Let charges on B & C be Q then final charges on B and C will be `Q/2` and `(3Q)/(4)` respectively.
