Two large conducting spheres carrying charges Q1 and Q2 are kept with their centres r distance apart. The magnitude of electrostatic force between them is not exactly \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{Q_1 Q_2}{r^2}\) because

  1. these are not point charges
  2. charge distribution on the spheres is not uniform
  3. charges on spheres will shift towards the centres of their respective spheres
  4. charges will shift towards the portions of the spheres which are closer and facing towards each other

Answer

(D) charges will shift towards the portions of the spheres which are closer and facing towards each other
