To find the common potential of the two metallic charged spheres after they are connected by a conducting wire, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have two metallic spheres: - Sphere 1 (smaller) with radius \( R_1 = 10 \, \text{cm} = 0.1 \, \text{m} \) and charge \( Q_1 = 150 \, \mu C = 150 \times 10^{-6} \, C \) - Sphere 2 (larger) with radius \( R_2 = 20 \, \text{cm} = 0.2 \, \text{m} \) and charge \( Q_2 = 150 \, \mu C = 150 \times 10^{-6} \, C \) ### Step 2: Set Up the Equations for Potential ...
