Two metal spheres, each of radius 3.9 cm, have a center-to-center separation of 2.2 m. Sphere 1 has a charge of +1.4 x 108 C; sphere 2
has a charge of -4,4 x 108 C. Assume that the separation is large enough for us to assume that the charge on each sphere is uniformly
distributed (the spheres do not affect each other). With V=0 at infinity, calculate in volts (a) the potential at the point halfway
between their centers and the potential on the surface of (b) sphere 1 and (c) sphere 2.
