Question

Among identical spheres A and B having charges as - 5 C and - 16 C.
(1)- 5 C is at higher potential
(2) - 16 C is at higher potential
(3) Both are at equal potential
(4) It cannot be said​

Answer 1

Answer: the correct answer is “ −5C is at higher potential “.

Explanation:

Given : two spheres A and B having charges −5C and −16C. We have to see which is at a higher potential.

Since we know that positive charge has a higher potential than negative charge.

Since −5C charge is less negative than −16C charge relatively. It means relatively, −5C charge is at higher potential compared to −16C charge.
