Question: A solid conducting sphere of radius R 1 = 1 . 2 7 m has a charge of Q distributed evenly on its surface. A

A solid conducting sphere of radius R1=1.27 m has a charge of Q distributed evenly on its surface. A second solid conducting sphere of radius R2=0.5869 m is initially uncharged. The second sphere is located a distance of 10.00 m from the first sphere. The two spheres are momentarily connected with a wire and then the wire is disconnected. The charge on the second sphere is now 1.60010-6 C. What was the original charge Q on the first sphere before the two spheres were connected?
