Two isolated conducting spheres have radii of r1=5 cmr_1 = 5\ \text{cm} and r2=10 cmr_2 = 10\ \text{cm} and initial charges of Q1=3 nCQ_1 = 3\ \text{nC} and Q2=−1 nCQ_2 = -1\ \text{nC}, respectively. The spheres are connected by a thin conducting wire and then separated. What is the final charge on the smaller sphere?

A

0.67 nC

B

1 nC

C

2 nC

D

1.5 nC
