Abstract
An image dipole method is employed to calculate the induced dipole moments of a pair of unequal-size conducting spheres subjected to a uniform electric field. Expressions for the dipole moments are given, involving the size ratio and separation of the spheres. Two typical cases are analyzed; two similar conducting spheres and two unequal conducting spheres with remarkable difference in size.
