To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the charge density of two conducting spheres that are at the same electric potential. Let's denote the radii of the spheres as \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \), where \( R_1 > R_2 \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Potential of a Sphere**: The electric potential \( V \) of a conducting sphere is given by the formula: \[ V = \frac{kQ}{R} ...
