Two Conducting Spheres, One Having Twice the Diameter of the Other

Question 42

Multiple Choice

Two conducting spheres, one having twice the diameter of the other, are separated by a distance large compared to their diameters. The smaller sphere (1) has charge q and the larger sphere (2) is uncharged. If the spheres are connected by a long thin wire and come to equilibrium: Two conducting spheres, one having twice the diameter of the other, are separated by a distance large compared to their diameters. The smaller sphere (1)  has charge q and the larger sphere (2)  is uncharged.
