Two conducting spheres are separated by a distance large compared to their diameters. Sphere 1 has diameter d and sphere 2 has diameter dz = 2 d. Sphere 1 is initially charged to 2.5 C while sphere 2 is uncharged. Next, the spheres are then connected by a long thin wire and come to equilibrium.

Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.
