Two metal spheres of capacitances \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) carry some charges. They are put in contact and then separated. The final charges \(Q_1\) and \(Q_2\) on them will satisfy;
1. \(\dfrac{{Q}_{1}}{{Q}_{2}}<\dfrac{{C}_{1}}{{C}_{2}}\)
2. \(\dfrac{{Q}_{1}}{{Q}_{2}}=\dfrac{{C}_{1}}{{C}_{2}}\)
3. \(\dfrac{{Q}_{1}}{{Q}_{2}}>\dfrac{{C}_{1}}{{C}_{2}}\)
4. \(\dfrac{{Q}_{1}}{{Q}_{2}}<\dfrac{{C}_{2}}{\mathrm{C}_{1}}\)
