Problem
Two solid conducting spheres are very far apart and connected by a long thin conducting wire, allowing charge to move freely between them. Sphere X has radius 4cm and initially carries a charge of +6μC. Sphere Y has radius 2cm and initially carries a charge of −3μC. After the system reaches electrostatic equilibrium, what is the net charge on sphere X?
(a) +1.5μC
(b) +1μC
(c) +2μC
(d) +2.4μC
