SUMMARY
The charge on a conducting sphere can be calculated using the formula V = Q/R, where V represents the electric potential, Q is the charge, and R is the radius of the sphere. This relationship is fundamental in electrostatics and directly links the charge to the potential and radius of the sphere. Understanding this formula allows for straightforward calculations of charge when the radius and potential are known.
