Sharing of Charge between Spheres

A large sphere \( P \) of radius \( R \) is charged positively. It is momentarily connected to a small sphere \( Q \) of radius \( r \). The two spheres now have same
charge
electric field
energy
potential

Solution:

When two conductors are connected by a conducting path (like a wire), charge flows between them until they reach electrostatic equilibrium, which means they acquire the same electrical potential.
