A conducting sphere of radius r1 = 0.32 m has a total charge of Q = 2.4 μC. A second uncharged conducting sphere of radius r2 = 0.45 m joins to the initial by a small conducting wire. In comparison with their size, the spheres have an enormous distance separating them.

a) What is the total charge on sphere two Q2 after they are connected, in coulombs?

b) What is the surface charge density of the second sphere, σ2, after they are connected in coulombs per square meter?
