Two conducting spheres $A$ and $B$ have radii $1 \, mm$ and $2 \, mm$ respectively and are charged. They are placed at a distance of $5 \, cm$. When they are connected by a conducting wire,the ratio of the electric field intensities on their surfaces at equilibrium is:

  • A
    $2 : 1$
  • B
    $1 : 4$
  • C
    $4 : 1$
  • D
    $1 : 2$
