Two charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ are fixed at points $A$ and $B$ respectively, separated by a distance of $30 \text{ cm}$. $A$ third charge $q_3$ is moved along a circular path of radius $40 \text{ cm}$ from point $C$ to point $D$. If the difference in potential energy due to the movement of $q_3$ from $C$ to $D$ is $q_3 K / (4 \pi \epsilon_0)$, find the value of $K$. (Given: $AC = 40 \text{ cm}$, $AB = 30 \text{ cm}$, $AD = 40 \text{ cm}$)

Two hollow conducting spheres of radii $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ $(R_{1} >> R_{2})$ have equal charges. The potential would be:
