Consider two conducting spheres with radii R1 and R2 separated by a distance much greater than either radius. A total charge Q is shared between the spheres. The total charge Q is equal to q1 + q2, where q1 represents the charge on the first sphere and q2 the charge on the second. Because the spheres are very far apart, you can assume the charge of each is uniformly distributed over its surface. Show that the energy associated with a single conducting sphere of radius R and charge q is surrounded by a vacuum is U = keq2/2R
