A metallic sphere of radius 2.0 cm is charged with +5.0C charge, which spreads on the surface of the sphere uniformly. The metallic sphere stands on an insulated stand and is surrounded by a larger metallic spherical shell, of inner radius 5.0 cm and outer radius 6.0 cm.

Your friend gets really excited by the idea of making a lightning rod or maybe just a sparking toy by connecting two spheres as shown in Figure 7.39, and making R2so small that the electric field is greater than the dielectric strength of air, just from the usual 150 V/m electric field near the surface of the Earth. If R1is 10 cm. how small does R2to be, and does this seem practical? (Hint: recall the calculation for electric field at the surface of a conductor from Gauss's Law.)
