Consider two charged metallic spheres $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ of radii $R_{1}$ and $R_{2},$ respectively. The electric fields $E_{1}$ (on $S_{1}$) and $E_{2}$ (on $S_{2}$) on their surfaces are such that $E_{1} / E_{2} = R_{1} / R_{2}.$ Then the ratio $V_{1} / V_{2}$ of the electrostatic potentials on each sphere is:

  • A
    $(R_{2} / R_{1})$
  • B
    $(R_{1} / R_{2})^{3}$
  • C
    $(R_{1} / R_{2})$
  • D
    $(R_{1} / R_{2})^{2}$

Consider two identical metallic spheres of radius $R$ each having charge $Q$ and mass $m$. Their centers have an initial separation of $4 R$. Both the spheres are given an initial speed of $u$ towards each other. The minimum value of $u$, so that they can just touch each other is: (Take $k=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}$ and assume $k Q^2 > G m^2$ where $G$ is the Gravitational constant)
