Two metal spheres of capacitance

C_1

and

C_2

carry some charges. They are put in contact and then separated. The final charges

Q_1

and

Q_2

on them will satisfy

Multiple Choice Options

A $Q_1/Q_2 < C_1/C_2$
B $Q_1/Q_2 = C_1/C_2$
C $Q_1/Q_2 > C_1/C_2$
D $Q_1/Q_2 = C_2/C_1$

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

**Answer:** (b) Q_/Q_ = C_/C_. **Step-by-Step Explanation:** When connected, the potentials equalise: V_ = V_. So Q_/C_ = Q_/C_, giving Q_/Q_ = C_/C_.
