After connection, the common potential.
\begin{aligned} V & =\frac{Q_1+Q_2}{C_1+C_2} \\ & =\frac{\left[4 \pi R^2+4 \pi(2 R)^2\right] \sigma}{4 \pi t_0 R+4 \pi \epsilon_0(2 R)} \\ & =\frac{\left[4 \pi R^2+16 \pi R^2\right] \sigma}{12 \pi \epsilon_0 R}=\frac{20 \pi R^2 \sigma}{12 \pi t_0 R} \\ & =\frac{5}{3} \frac{R \sigma}{\epsilon_0} \end{aligned}
