A metallic sphere of radius R is charged to a potential V. If is brought in contact with an uncharged metallic sphere of radius R/2 and then separated. Then potential of the smaller sphere will be

a
2V/3
b
V/3
c
V/4
d
3V/4

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Initial charge on the larger sphere Q=4π∈oR. V∴potential of the smaller sphere V'=QC1+C2=4π∈oRV4π∈oR+4π∈oR/2⇒V'=2V/3.
