Vedclass · Answer

(C) The correct answer is $C$. For a metallic sphere, whether it is solid or hollow, the excess charge resides entirely on its outer surface due to the electrostatic repulsion between like charges. Since both spheres have the same radius $R$, they have the same surface area $A = 4\pi R^2$. Therefore, both spheres can hold the same maximum amount of charge before the electric field at the surface exceeds the dielectric strength of the surrounding medium (causing ionization/discharge).
