Two charged metallic spheres are joined by a very thin metal wire. If the radius of the larger sphere is four times that of the smaller sphere,the electric field near the larger sphere is

  • A
    twice that near the smaller sphere
  • B
    quarter of that near the smaller sphere
  • C
    same as that near the smaller sphere
  • D
    half of that near smaller sphere

Two 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

Given below are two statements.
