Three charged conducting metal spheres of radius R₁, R2 and R3 are connected together by very thin wires and they are separated by large distances from each other. If R₁ < R₂ < R3, at equilibrium, which of the following sets of relations involving the electric field strength E generated by a sphere at a point just outside the surface, its potential V and its charge Q must hold between the spheres ? V₁ V₂ V3, E₁ < E₂ < E3, Q1 < Q2 < Q3 V₁ = V₂ = V3, E₁> E2> E3, Q₁ < Q2 Q3 V₁ < V₂ <V3, E₁ < E2 < E3, Q₁ = Q₂ = Q3 V₁ > V₂ V3, E₁ < E₂ < E3, Q1 > Q₂ > Q3
