Question

Two conducting spheres with diameters of 0.250m and 1.25m areseparated by a distance that is large compared with the diameters.The spheres are connected by a thin wire and are charged to9.60mico-Coulombs. (a) How is this total charge shared between thespheres(Neglect any charge on the wire.)          Chargeon smaller sphere, _______________ micro-Coulombs;           Chargeon larger sphere, ________________ micro-Coulombs. (b) What is the potential of the system of spheres when thereferencepotential is taken to be V=0 at r=infinity? Round your answer to three significant figures, Take Coulombconstant= 8.99*10^9N.m^2/C^2.

Explanation / Answer

Total charge is 9.60 Total radius is 0.250+1.25 =1.5 so small one will take 9.60/1.5*0.25=1.6 micro C big one will take 9.60-1.0=8 micro C
