Two conducting spheres of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ are charged with charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ respectively. When they are brought into contact with each other:

  • A
    The energy of the system does not change.
  • B
    If $Q_1R_2 \neq Q_2R_1$,the energy of the system increases.
  • C
    The energy of the system always decreases.
  • D
    If $Q_1R_2 \neq Q_2R_1$,the energy of the system decreases.
