Two isolated metallic solid spheres of radii $R$ and $2R$ are charged such that both have the same charge density $\sigma$. The spheres are then connected by a thin conducting wire. If the new charge density of the bigger sphere is $\sigma^{\prime}$,then the ratio $\frac{\sigma^{\prime}}{\sigma}$ is:
