Two small metal spheres are located 3.0 m apart. One has radius 0.48 cm and carries charge 0.15 uC. The other has radius 0.95 cm and carries charge 0.090 uC.
If the two spheres were suddenly connected by a thin wire, how much charge would move along it?
This is a question that I have been trying to solve for over a week and still can't get. Please Help. I need a detailed explanation because I know this concept will be used in later chapters.
I know I will add Q1 + Q2 = .24 uC
I was also told that V1 = V2
So (kQ1)/R1 = (kQ2)/R2
I was told to solve for one and plug it into the other, but I don't see the logic.
