Sphere 1 with radius R1 has positive charge q. Sphere 2 with radius 2.00 R1 is far

Question:

Sphere 1 with radius R1 has positive charge q. Sphere 2 with radius 2.00 R1 is far from sphere 1 and initially uncharged. After the separated spheres are connected with a wire thin enough to retain only negligible charge,

(a) Is potential V1 of sphere 1 greater than, less than, or equal to potential V2 of sphere 2? What fraction of q ends up on?

(b) Sphere 1 and

(c) Sphere 2?

(d) What is the ratio σ1/σ2 of the surface charge densities of the spheres?
