Two charged conducting spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ of radii $8 \text{ cm}$ and $18 \text{ cm}$ are connected to each other by a wire. After equilibrium is established,the ratio of electric fields on $S_1$ and $S_2$ spheres are $E_{S_1}$ and $E_{S_2}$ respectively. The value of $\frac{E_{S_1}}{E_{S_2}}$ is . . . . . . .

The metal plate on the left in the figure has a charge of $+q$. The metal plate on the right has a charge of $-2q$. What charge will flow to the earth when switch $S$ is closed, given that the middle plate is initially neutral?

$A$ dipole consisting of two charges $\pm q$ separated by a distance $2a$ is placed with its centre at a distance $D$ from the center of a grounded conducting sphere of radius $R$ $(D \gg a)$. When the dipole moment vector is perpendicular to the line joining the two centres (those of the dipole and sphere),the total charge induced on the sphere is:
