Homework Statement
1. Two solid metal spheres are very far apart: sphere A (radius 44.1 cm) is charged to potential +2,346 Volts; sphere B (radius 63.6 cm) is charged to potential +8,848. Now, a long conducting wire connects the two spheres. When the charge has stopped moving, find the new charge on sphere A, in μC.
Homework Equations
v1=kq1/r1 v2=kq/r2
The Attempt at a Solution
since there are connected by a conducting wire both of the spheres will have the same potential thus :
v1+v2 / 2 = 5597 V
then:
5597= kq1/r1
q1= .275 μc
im not sure about this so any help will be appreciated !
