Electrostatics of two suspended spheres

Although the working principle of a traditional electroscope with thin metal deflection foils is simple, one needs numerical methods to calculate its foil's deflection. If the electroscope is made of hanging spheres instead of foils, then it is possible to obtain an analytical solution. Since t...
