Question

4. GO Four identical metal spheres have charges of $q_A = -8.0 \mu C$, $q_B = -2.0 \mu C$, $q_C = +5.0 \mu C$, and $q_D = +12.0 \mu C$. (a) Two of the spheres are brought together so they touch, and then they are separated. Which spheres are they, if the final charge on each one is $+5.0 \mu C$? (b) In a similar manner, which three spheres are brought together and then separated, if the final charge on each of the three is $+3.0 \mu C$? (c) The final charge on each of the three separated spheres in part (b) is $+3.0 \mu C$. How many electrons would have to be added to one of these spheres to make it electrically neutral?

00:01 In this problem, we have four identical metal spheres with some different amortar charges on each of them.
00:06 What we need to know is when we bring more than one of these spheres together, the total charge among them will be equally divided.
00:17 Now, in the first part of the problem, two of these spheres are brought together, and each of them get a total charge of five microcolums, which means the total charge on the two spheres at 10 microcolums.
00:31 If you look at our spheres here, sphere b and sphere d will give a total charge of 12 minus 2 or 10 microcolums.
00:47 So the answer to the first part are spheres b and spheres d.
00:54 Then in the next part, we have three of the spheres brought together with the total charge of three micrcolumns, which means the total charge in this case is 9 microsephorums...
