There are two sphere of radius a and b and they are connected by conducting wire. Then why the electric potential becomes same of both the sphere?

Hardik Batra said:I don't know what happens next that was I am asking to you. Why potential becomes same?
Hardik Batra said:I think electron will move from higher potential to lower potential.
Hardik Batra said:Electron moving from higher potential it will release the energy and higher potential decrease?
Electric potential is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a given point in an electric field. It is measured in volts (V).
Electric potential is a property of a point in an electric field, while electric potential energy is a measure of the potential energy of a charged object in an electric field. Electric potential is a scalar quantity, while electric potential energy is a vector quantity.
A conducting wire does not affect electric potential because it is a good conductor of electricity, meaning that the electric potential remains constant along its length. This is due to the movement of electrons within the wire, which quickly equalizes any differences in electric potential.
Electric potential is directly proportional to electric field, meaning that an increase in electric potential will result in an increase in electric field and vice versa. The equation E = -∇V represents this relationship, where E is electric field, V is electric potential, and ∇ is the gradient operator.
Yes, electric potential can be negative. This usually occurs when the electric potential energy decreases as a charged object moves from one point to another in an electric field. Negative electric potential indicates that work must be done to move a charged object against the direction of the electric field.
