The radii of two metallic spheres $A$ and $B$ are ${r_1}$ and ${r_2}$ respectively $({r_1} > {r_2})$. They are connected by a thin wire and the system is given a certain charge. The charge will be greater:

  • A
    On the surface of the sphere $B$
  • B
    On the surface of the sphere $A$
  • C
    Equal on both
  • D
