Conducting spheres and electric potential


Assignment:

Question 1. Two conducting spheres are far apart. The smaller sphere carries a total charge of 6*10^-8C. The larger sphere has a radius that is twice that of the saler and is neutral. After the two spheres are conected by a conducting wire, the charges on the smaller and larger spheres, respectively are:

Question 2. A conducting sphere with radius R is charged until the magnitude of the electric field just outside its surface is E. The electic potential of the sphere, relative to the potential far away is:
a) 0
b) E/R
c)E/R^2
d)ER
e) ER^2

Question 3. A 5cm radius conducting sphere has a charge density of 2*10^-6C/m^2 on its surface. Its electric potetial relative to the potential far away is:
