Two conducting spheres of radii R1 and R2 are charged with charges Q1 and Q2 respectively. On bringing them in contact there is :–
  1. no change in the energy of the system
  2. an increase in the energy of the system if Q1R2 Q2R1
  3. always a decrease in energy of the system
  4. a decrease in energy of the system if Q1R2 Q2R1

Answer

(D) a decrease in energy of the system if Q 1 R 2 ≠ Q 2 R 1
