Question

Two isolated conducting spheres S₁ and S₂ of radius ${2 \over 3}R$ and ${1 \over 3}R$ have 12 $\mu $C and –3 $\mu $C charges, respectively, and are at a large distance from each other. They are now connected by a conducting wire. A long time after this is done the charges on S₁ and S₂ are respectively :

4.5 $\mu $C on both

+4.5 $\mu $C and –4.5 $\mu $C

6 $\mu $C and 3 $\mu $C

3 $\mu $C and 6 $\mu $C
