To solve the problem of finding the ratio of the electric fields of two charged spheres of radii \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) that are connected by a wire, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of electric potential When two conductive spheres are connected by a wire, they will reach the same electric potential. The electric potential \( V \) of a charged sphere is given by the formula: \[ V = k \frac{Q}{R} \] where \( k \) is Coulomb's constant, \( Q \) is the charge on the sphere, and \( R \) is the radius of the sphere. ...
