Question

01. If two conducting spheres are separately charged
and then brought in contact:
a. the total energy of the two spheres is conserved
b. the total charge on the two spheres is conserved
Both the total energy and charge are conserved
d. the final potential is always the mean of the
griginal potentials of the two spheres

Answer 1

Answer:

If two conducting spheres are separately charged (b) b. the total charge on the two spheres is conserved

Explanation:

The total charge on the two spheres will be conserved energy may not because if they are of different size or have different charge then some of their energy might lost in redistribution of charge.
