To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the ratios of charges, potentials, self-energies, electric fields at the surface, and surface charge densities of two charged metallic spheres with radii \( r_1 \) and \( r_2 \). ### Step 1: Ratio of Charges When the two metallic spheres are touched, they will share their charges until their potentials are equal. The potential \( V \) of a charged sphere is given by: \[ V = \frac{k \cdot Q}{R} \] ...
