Two conducting spherical shells $A$ and $B$ of radii 4 cm and 6 cm respectively are placed with their centres 17 cm apart in air. Initially, sphere A was given a -20 nC charge while sphere B was uncharged. The spheres are then connected by a long thin conducting wire and allowed to reach electrostatic equilibrium. Assuming no charge is lost to the surroundings, the final charge on sphere A and the ratio of magnitude of electric field intensity at the surface of sphere $B$ to that of sphere $A$ is given by;

A

$-12 \mathrm{nC} ; \frac{2}{3}$

B

$-8 \mathrm{nC} ; \frac{3}{2}$

C

$-12 \mathrm{nC} ; \frac{3}{2}$

D

$-8 \mathrm{nC} ; \frac{2}{3}$
