Chapter 24, Problem 62

(choose chapter or problem)

Sphere 1 with radius R1 has positive charge q. Sphere 2 with radius 2.00R1 is far from sphere 1 and initially uncharged.After the separated spheres are connected with a wire thin enough to retain only negligible charge, (a) is potential V1 of sphere 1 greater than, less than, or equal to potential V2 of sphere 2? What fraction of q ends up on (b) sphere 1 and (c) sphere 2? (d) What is the ratio s1/s2 of the surface charge densities of the spheres?
