As shown above, sphere 1 and sphere 2 are made of metal and connected together by a wire with a switch. While the switch is open, sphere 1 is given a positive total charge (and sphere 2 remains neutral). Then the switch is closed. How does the electric field E1 at the surface of sphere 1 compare to the electric field E2 at the surface of sphere 2?
