Question:medium
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: In electrostatics, a conductor does not store any net charge inside.
Reason R: Inside the capacitor (with no dielectric medium), the free charge carriers, if placed between the plates of capacitor, experience force and drift.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below

- Two charged conducting spheres \(S_1\) and \(S_2\) of radii \(8\) cm and \(18\) cm are connected to each other by a wire. After equilibrium is established, the ratio of electric fields on \(S_1\) and \(S_2\) spheres are \(E_{S_1}\) and \(E_{S_2}\) respectively. The value of \( \dfrac{E_{S_1}}{E_{S_2}} \) is:
