Two metal spheres,one of radius $R$ and the other of radius $2R$,both have the same surface charge density $\sigma$. They are brought in contact and then separated. What will be the new surface charge densities on them?

  • A
    $\sigma_1 = \frac{5}{3}\sigma, \sigma_2 = \frac{5}{6}\sigma$
  • B
    $\sigma_1 = \sigma, \sigma_2 = \sigma$
  • C
    $\sigma_1 = \frac{2}{3}\sigma, \sigma_2 = \frac{4}{3}\sigma$
  • D
    $\sigma_1 = \frac{5}{6}\sigma, \sigma_2 = \frac{5}{3}\sigma$
