See the figure here. We have two hollow thin spherical shells A and B of radii R, and R, respectively. Initially as shown in Fig.(i) shell B has a charge + Q which is uniformly distributed over its outer surface but shell B has no charge. At a particular instant the two spherical shells are connected by a thin copper wire as shown in Fig.(ii). After a couple of minutes two spherical shells A and B are disconnected again as shown in Fig.(iii). Now answer the following questions : Find the ratio of electric field on the surfaces of shell A and B.
