Question

I am having a hard time starting out this problem. The issue is that there are not any numbers that I could work with. Here is the question ,"Three identical conducting spheres initially have the following chargers:sphere A,4Q; sphere B, -6Q, and sphere C, 0. Spheres And B are fixed in place, with a center- to-center separation that is much larger than the spheres. Two experiments are conducted. In experiment 1, sphere C is touched by A and then ( separately) to sphere B and then it is removed. In experiment 2, starting with the same initial states, the procedure is reversed. What is the ratio of the electrostatic force between A and B at the end of experiment 2 to that at the end of experiment 1?"

There's a point P at a distance X (on the X axis). Q, R, and P (thus X) are equal in both cases. Which of these is true for he electrical field on the point P: E(disk) < E(ring) E(disk) > E(ring) E(disk) = E(ring) E(disk) = E(ring)/2 The given information is not enough to make a comparison. Justify your answer for each possibility.
    A solid conducting sphere of radius R carries a charge Q. To find U, total electric-field energy, consider a spherical shell of radius r and thickness dr that has volume dV=4πr2dr. (It will help to make a drawing of such a shell concentric with the conducting sphere). The energy stored in this volume is udV, and the total energy is the integral of udV from r=0 to r→∞. Find the potential energy U for the sphere using the integral set provided. Previously you found the integral set up for U.   Express your answers in terms of some, all, or none of the variables Q, R, the electric constant ϵ0 , and π, separated by a comma.   U=?
