A charge is placed on a spherical conductor of radius r₁.This sphere is then connected to a distant sphere of radius r₂ (not equal to r₁)by a conducting wire.After the charges on the spheres are in equilibrium,

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the two spheres are connected by a conducting wire, the charges will redistribute themselves until the system reaches equilibrium. This means that both spheres will end up at the same potential because the charges will move until the potential difference between them is zero. Therefore, choice C is correct. Choices A, B, D, and E are incorrect because they do not necessarily hold true in this situation.
