Problem
A solid conducting sphere X of radius 4.0 cm is at an electric potential of +200 V with respect to infinity. A second isolated conducting sphere Y of radius 2.0 cm is initially at 0 V. The two spheres are connected by a thin wire, allowed to reach equilibrium, and then disconnected. Determine the common potential of the spheres after disconnection.
