Charge is placed on two conducting spheres that are very far apart and connected by a long thin wire. The radius of the smaller sphere is 5 cm and that of the larger sphere is 12 cm. The electric field at the surface of the larger sphere is 830 kV/m. Find the surface charge density on each sphere
For the 12cm sphere I used this:
E=\frac{kQ}{R^{2}}
Solved for Q
Then divided by 4\pi r^{2}, and got 7.347 \frac{\mu C}{m^{2}}
I need a little help figuring out the charge density for the 5cm radius sphere.
