1. 6.0 μC are placed on a conducting sphere of radius 4.0 mm. -3.0 μC are placed on a sphere of radius 2.0 mm. These conducting spheres are then joined by a long conducting wire (and the spheres are quite far away from each other). After the system comes to equilibrium, how much charge lies on either of these two spheres?

Expert Solution

The charge will be distributed among the conducting spheres to remain at equal potential. This is the basic fundamental of the solution.
