    Consider two charged metallic spheres $S_{1}$ and $\mathrm{S}_{2}$ of radii $\mathrm{R}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{R}_{2},$ respectively. The electric $\left.\text { fields }\left.\mathrm{E}_{1} \text { (on } \mathrm{S}_{1}\right) \text { and } \mathrm{E}_{2} \text { (on } \mathrm{S}_{2}\right)$ on their surfaces are such that $\mathrm{E}_{1} / \mathrm{E}_{2}=\mathrm{R}_{1} / \mathrm{R}_{2} .$ Then the ratio $\left.\mathrm{V}_{1}\left(\mathrm{on}\; \mathrm{S}_{1}\right) / \mathrm{V}_{2} \text { (on } \mathrm{S}_{2}\right)$ of the electrostatic potentials on each sphere is

    Two capacitors of equal capacitance $(C_1 = C_2)$ are shown in the figure. Initially, while the switch $S$ is open, one of the capacitors is uncharged and the other carries charge $Q_0$. The energy stored in the charged capacitor is $U_0$. Sometimes after the switch is closed, the capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ carry charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$, respectively; the voltages across the capacitors are $ V_1$ and $V_2$; and the energies stored in the capacitors are $U_1$ and $U_2$. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT ?
