An isolated conducting sphere of charge Q and radius R is connected to a similar uncharged sphere (kept at a large distance) by using a high resistance wire. After a long time is the amount of heat loss?

Explanation

To solve the problem of heat loss when an isolated conducting sphere of charge Q and radius R is connected to an uncharged sphere, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the Initial Conditions
Initially, we have one conducting sphere with charge \( Q \) and radius \( R \). The second sphere is uncharged and is kept at a large distance.

**Hint:** Remember that the potential energy of a charged sphere depends on its charge and radius.

### Step 2: Calculate the Initial Potential Energy
