Abstract
The Poisson-Boltzmann equation with two unequal spheres and fixed positive surface potentials is analyzed. The electrostatic energy is computed, and the fact that a fraction of the surface maybe attractive while the rest is repulsive is obtained. This is a new concept, counter intuitive and observed by experiments.
