(a) Two charged conducting spheres of radii $$a$$ and $$b$$ are connected to each other by a wire. Find the ratio of the electric fields at their surfaces.

OR

(b) A parallel plate capacitor (A) of capacitance C is charged by a battery to voltage $$V$$. The battery is disconnected and an uncharged capacitor (B) of capacitance $$2 \mathrm{C}$$ is connected across $$\mathrm{A}$$. Find the ratio of

(i) final charges on A and B.

(ii) total electrostatic energy stored in A and B finally and that stored in A initially.
