Two spheres of radius a and b respectively are charged and joined by a wire. The ratio of electric field of the spheres is

a
a/b
b
b/a
c
a2/b2
d
b2/a2

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Joined by a wire means they are at the same potential. For same potential kQ1a1=kQ2a2⇒Q1Q2=abFurther, the electric field at the surface of the sphere having radius R and charge Q is kQR2.∴E1E2=kQ1/a2kQ2/b2=Q1Q2×b2a2=ba
