# Prove that the distribution of charge between two conductors in the ratio of their capacitance .
Let two conductor A and B of capacities C1 and C2. on charging them by charge Q1 and Q2 respectively then their potential become V1 and V2 here V1>V2 .
Thus before joining:
charge on conductor A, Q1 = C1.V1
Charge on conductor B, Q2 = C2.V2
After joining :
Two charged conductor joining together by the conducting wire L then charge flows from high potential to low potential till both the conductor getting common potential V.
Thus, total charge,. Q = Q1 + Q2
Q = C1.V1 + C2.V2
Total capacity, C = C1 + C2
By the definition of capacitance
C = Q/V
Hence, V = Q/C
Putting the values
[V= (C1.V1+C2.V2) / C1+C2 ]
This is common potential
After joining, the charge on conductor A is
Q1'= C1.V
And charge on conductor B is
Q2' = C2.V
Hence , Q1'/Q2' = C1.V/C2.V
[Q1'/Q2' = C1/C2 ] Hence proved
