Answer:
Let σ be the surface charge on the two metal spheres of radii R and 2 R.
∴ Before contact, charges on the two spheres are
Q1=σ.4πR2,andQ2=σ=σ4π(2R)2=4Q1
When the two spheres are brought in contact, their charges are shared till their potentials become equal. If Q1'andQ2' are the final charges on the two spheres after contact, then as V1=V2
Q'14π∈0R=Q'24π∈0(2R)∴Q2=2Q1' ...(i)
As there is no less of charge in the process, therefore,
Q'1+Q'2=Q1+Q2=Q1+4Q1=5Q1=5(σ4πR2) using (i), Q'1+2Q'1=5σ4πR2
Q'1=53σ4πR2andQ'2=2Q'1=103σ4πR2
Hence σ1=Q'14πR2=53σ and σ2=Q'24π(2R)2=56σ
