The two metal spheres in Figure Q26.9 are connected by a metal wire with a switch in the middle. Initially the switch is open. Sphere 1, with the larger radius, is given a positive charge. Sphere 2, with the smaller radius, is neutral. Then the switch is closed. Afterward, sphere 1 has charge , is at potential , and the electric field strength at its surface is . The values for sphere 2 are .
