View SolutionTwo metal spheres have their radii in the ratio of $4:7$. They are put in contact and a charge $8.8 \times 10^{-7} \text{ C}$ is given to the system. Then they are separated so that each can exert no influence on the other. The potential due to the smaller sphere at $60 \text{ m}$ from it in Volt is
$A$ charge $q$ is placed at $O$ in the cavity of a spherical uncharged conductor. Point $S$ is outside the conductor. If the charge is displaced from $O$ towards $S$ while still remaining within the cavity,then:
