Answer:
2.33 nC, 4.67 nC
Explanation:
when the two spheres are connected through the wire, the total charge (Q=7.00 nC) re-distribute to the two sphere in such a way that the two spheres are at same potential:
(1)
Keeping in mind the relationship between charge, voltage and capacitance:
we can re-write (1) as
(2)
where:
Q1, Q2 are the charges on the two spheres
C1, C2 are the capacitances of the two spheres
The capacitance of a sphere is given by
where R is the radius of the sphere. Substituting this into (2), we find
(3)
we also know that sphere 2 has twice the diameter of sphere 1, so the radius of sphere 2 is twice the radius of sphere 1:
So the eq.(3) becomes
And re-arranging it we find:
And since we know that the total charge is
we find
