Question

2) Three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C initially have net charges as shown. Spheres A and B are now touched together and then separated. Sphere C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it. Lastly, sphere C is touched to sphere B and then separated from it. (a) How much charge ends up on sphere C? What is the total charge on the three spheres (b) before they are allowed to touch each other and (c) after they have touched? A B C +5q -1q None

Step 1

However, the charges are not provided in the question. Let's assume the initial charges on spheres A, B, and C are q1, q2, and q3 respectively. (a) When spheres A and B are touched together, they will share their charges equally because they are identical. So, Show more…
