Electric Potential
25. Electric Potential / Electric Potential / Problem 5

A metallic rod of length L and radius R is charged to a potential of 800 V. A second metallic rod of length 2L and radius 2R is charged to a potential of 1600 V. The rods are placed end-to-end, such that their flat circular faces are in contact, and then separated. Calculate the potential of each rod after they have been separated. Note: R << L.
