Can you elaborate on this point please ? Thank you sunmaggot. Apart from that I did understand everything except the below "I think you can think like this, the electric potential will push the charges on to the surface of the conductor." and "hope you understand, you can simply integrate...

All what you said... This topic has just been started with me in my classes and as I went through the Fundamentals of Physics (6th edition) Electric Charge, it's not stated why two identical spheres should have a equally shared net charge. And I have no knowledge of electric fields whatsoever.

Could you please elaborate?

In electrostatics, why is it that identical spheres that are touched for a brief moment or connected by a conducting wire (wire not gaining any charge) should have an equal charge? Why is that they come in an equilibrium of charge? For example - If we take 2 identical spheres one bearing a...
