two charged spherical conductors of radius R1=6cm and R2=2cm are separated by a distance much greater than 6cm and are connected by a long, thin conducting wire. a total charge Q=80nc is placed on one of the spheres. (a) what is the charge on each sphere? (b) what is the electric field near the surface of each sphere? (c) what is the electric potential of each sphere? (assume that the charge on the connecting wire is negligible)
Two spherical conductors of radii 11.0 cm and 15.0 cm are connected by a long thin conducting wire. After reaching a steady state, the spheres have charges q1 and q2, respectively. If the wire is now cut, and the spheres are placed such that the center-to-center distance between them is 28.0 cm, the spheres repel each other with a force of 2.00 N. Remember: The force between charged spheres depends on the center to center distance. (a) What are q1...
Two isolated conducting spheres are separated by a large distance. Sphere 1 has a radius of 20 cm and an initial charge 30 nC while Sphere 2 has a radius of 60 cm and an initial charge 70 nC. A very thin copper wire is now connected to the spheres to allow charge to flow between them. How much charge will be transferred from Sphere 2 to Sphere 1? (Note that the charge transferred can be positive, negative or zero.)
4 Two spherical conductors (Homework #3) Two spherical conductors of different radii (Ri and R2) are connected by along fine conducting wire. Let's assume Ri << R2, the smaller sphere carries the total charge 0 (with surface chargé density o) and the larger sphere carries the total charge Q2 (with surface charge density ). a) Remember that the potential is always constant on and in the conductor. Using th is fact, show that the ratio of the charge is given...
Two spherical conductors (Homework #3) Two spherical conductors of different radii (Ri and R:) are connected by along fine conducting wire. Let's assume RiR, the smaller sphere carries the total charge Q (with surface charge density ) and the larger sphere carries the total charge a (with surface charge density a) Remember that the potential is always constant on and in the conductor.

Consider two, conducting spheres, separated by a large distance. Sphere A has a radius of 0.85 m and sphere B has a radius of 1.25 m. Sphere A is charged to a potential of -25 V and sphere B is charged to a potential of +18 V. The spheres are then connected by a thin, conducting wire. Part A) What is the initial charge of Sphere A, in Coulombs? Part B) What is the initial charge of Sphere B, in...
You have two metal spheres, one with twice the diameter than the other. The smaller sphere initially has +8.0 nC of charge, while the larger one is uncharged. The two spheres are then connected together by a long, thin wire. What are the final charges on each sphere? Justify in words each relationship you use to solve this problem.
