Question 910: Electrostats & Capacitance

Question

Two hollow conducting spheres of radii R1 and R2 (R1 >> R2) have equal charges. The potential would be

Accepted Answer

Potential of conducting hollow sphere $$ = {{KQ} \over R}$$
Now, Q = same
$$ \Rightarrow V \propto {1 \over R} \Rightarrow $$ more the radius less will be the potential.
$$\Rightarrow$$ Hence potential would be more on smaller sphere.
