A conducting sphere of radius R is cut into two equal halves which are held pressed together by a stiff spring inside the sphere. (a) Find the change in tension in the spring if the sphere is given a charge Q. (b) Find the change in tension in the spring corresponding to the maximum charge that can be placed on the sphere if dielectric breakdown strength of air surrounding the sphere is ` E_0`.
