2 Two identical conducting spheres each having a radius of $0.500\U{cm}$
3 are connected by a light, $2.00\U{m}$ long conducting wire. A charge
4 of $60.0\U{$\mu$C}$ is placed on one of the conductors. Assume the
5 surface distribution of charge on each sphere is uniform. Determine
6 the tension in the wire.
10 There will be $Q/2$ on each of the conductors, which we are supposed
11 to assume is distributed evenly along the surface. So from the
12 outside each sphere will look like a point charge $Q/2$ located at the
13 sphere center. The distance between the sphere centers is
16 F = \frac{k\cdot\frac{Q}{2}\cdot\frac{Q}{2}}{(L+2R)^2}
17 = \frac{kQ^2}{4(L+2R)^2}
