A conducting sphere` S_1 `of radius r is attached to an insulating handle. Another conduction sphere `S_2 `of radius R is mounted on an insulating stand. `S_2` is initially uncharged.` S_1 `is given a charge Q brought into contact with `S_2` and removed. `S_1` is recharge such that the charge on it is again Q and it is again brought into contact with `S_2 `and removed. This procedure is repeated n times.
Find the electrostatic energy of` S_2` after n such contacts with `S_1`.
