Two charged spheres of radius $R_1$ and $R_2$ respectively are charged and joined by a wire. The ratio of the electric field at the surfaces of the spheres is . . . . . . .

Assertion: $A$ positive charge particle is placed in front of a spherical uncharged conductor. The number of lines of force terminating on the sphere will be more than those emerging from it.
Reason: The surface charge density at a point on the sphere nearest to the point charge will be negative and maximum in magnitude compared to other points on the sphere.

For the situation shown in the figure,mark the correct statement. $A$ point charge $q$ is placed at a distance $d$ from the surface of a neutral hollow conductor of radius $R$.

$A$ charge of $Q$ coulomb is placed on a solid piece of metal of irregular shape. The charge will distribute itself:

Two isolated metallic solid spheres of radii $R$ and $2R$ are charged such that both have the same charge density $\sigma$. The spheres are then connected by a thin conducting wire. If the new charge density of the bigger sphere is $\sigma^{\prime}$,then the ratio $\frac{\sigma^{\prime}}{\sigma}$ is:
