Consider two conducting spheres of radii ${{\rm{R}}_1}$ and ${{\rm{R}}_2}$ with $\left( {{{\rm{R}}_1} > {{\rm{R}}_2}} \right)$. If the two are at the same potential, the larger sphere has more charge than the smaller sphere. State whether the charge density of the smaller sphere is more or less than that of the larger one.

There is a uniform electrostatic field in a region. The potential at various points on a small sphere centred at $P$, in the region, is found to vary between in the limits $589.0\,V$ to $589.8\, V$.
