Two metal spheres of radius $R$ and $3R$ have the same surface charge density $\sigma$. If they are brought in contact and then separated, the surface charge density on the smaller and bigger sphere becomes $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$, respectively. The ratio $\frac{\sigma_1}{\sigma_2}$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{9}$
  • B
    $9$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • D
    $3$
