Two conducting spheres are far apart. Smaller sphere has a radius ( R_{2}=0.1 mathrm{~m} ) and carries a total charge ( mathrm{Q}=5,1 mathrm{nC} ). Larger sphere has a radius ( R_{1}=0.2 mathrm{~m} ), and it is neutral. After the two spheres are connected by a conducting wire, (a) Calculate the charge on the larger sphere, in ( mathrm{nC} ). (Take Coulomb's constant as ( k=9 G N m^{2} / C^{2} ). Note that ( n C=10^{-9} C, G N=10^{9} mathrm{~N} ) )
