          A conducting sphere of radius R carries a charge Q. 
Another conducting sphere has a radius , but
carries the same charge.  The spheres are far apart.  The
ratio of the electric field near the surface of the smaller sphere
to the field near the surface of the larger sphere is most
nearly.

Step 1

Step 1: The electric field near the surface of a conducting sphere is given by \( E = \frac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_0 R^2} \), where \( Q \) is the charge on the sphere, \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space, and \( R \) is the radius of the sphere. Show more…
