Two spheres are made of conducting material. Sphere #2 has twice the radius of Sphere #1 . What is the ratio of the capacitance of Sphere #2 to the capacitance of sphere #1?
a. 1, since all conducting spheres have the same capacitance.
b. 2
c. 4
d. 8
e. A single sphere has no capacitance since a second concentric spherical shell is necessary to make a spherical capacitor. Thus, none of the answers above is correct.

How might two colliding spiral galaxies tend to create an elliptical galaxy?
A) The orbits of the stars get randomized during the collision, while their gas disks collide and form stars. B) The collision creates a larger galaxy and elliptical galaxies are always larger. C) The gas in the disks of the galaxies is expelled into intergalactic space by gravitational interactions. D) The heat created by collisions between stars causes the disks to puff out into a spherical shape.
