Out of two copper spheres of the same size,$x$ is hollow while $y$ is solid. If they are charged at the same potential,what can be said about the charges on them?

  • A
    Sphere $y$ will have more charge.
  • B
    Sphere $x$ will have more charge.
  • C
    Charge on both the spheres is zero.
  • D
    Charge on both the spheres is equal.
