To solve the problem, we need to determine the charge \( Q \) on a sphere of radius 4 cm such that when it is brought into contact with another sphere of radius 2 cm carrying a charge of \( 10 \, \mu C \), there is no transfer of charge between the two spheres. This occurs when the electric potentials of both spheres are equal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Electric Potential**: The electric potential \( V \) at the surface of a charged sphere is given by the formula: \[ V = \frac{kQ}{R} ...
