  • A
    $\sqrt{ab}$
  • B
    $ab$
  • C
    $\frac{a}{b}$
  • D

$A$ spherical metal shell $A$ of radius $R_A$ and a solid metal sphere $B$ of radius $R_B < R_A$ are kept far apart and each is given charge $+Q$. Now they are connected by a thin metal wire. Then:
$(A)$ $E_A^{\text{inside}} = 0$
$(B)$ $Q_A > Q_B$
$(C)$ $\frac{\sigma_A}{\sigma_B} = \frac{R_B}{R_A}$
$(D)$ $E_A^{\text{on surface}} < E_B^{\text{on surface}}$

The metal plate on the left in the figure has a charge of $+q$. The metal plate on the right has a charge of $-2q$. What charge will flow to the earth when switch $S$ is closed, given that the middle plate is initially neutral?
