Two spherical hollow spheres of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ are charged with the same charge $Q$. If $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ are their respective surface charge densities, then the ratio $\sigma_1 : \sigma_2$ is:

  • A
    $R_1 : R_2$
  • B
    $R_2 : R_1$
  • C
    $R_2^2 : R_1^2$
  • D
    $R_1^2 : R_2^2$
