Consequences for conductors in electrostatic equilibrium


Two spherical conductors are connected by a long conducting wire and a total charge of 20.0 μC is placed on this combination. One sphere has a radius of 4.0 cm while the other has a radius of 6.0 cm. Explain the reasoning of the steps that allow you to determine: (a) the electric potential of each sphere; (b) the electric field near the surface of each sphere; and (c) the surface charge density for each of the spheres. (d) Explain what aspect of the electric field consequences for Conductors in Electrostatic Equilibrium you have just validated with your solution to this problem.
