Two identical metal spheres $A$ and $B$ are connected by a plastic rod. Both are initially neutral. $1.0 \times 10^{12}$ electrons are added to sphere $A$, then the connecting rod is removed. Afterward, what are the charge of $A$ and the charge of $B ?$
Two identical metal spheres A and B are in contact. Both are initially neutral. 1.0 x 10^12 electrons are added to sphere A, then the two spheres are separated.

If two identical conducting spheres are in contact, any excess charge will be evenly distributed between the two. Three identical metal spheres are labeled $A, B,$ and $C .$ Initially, $A$ has charge $q, \mathrm{B}$ has charge $-q / 2,$ and $\mathrm{C}$ is uncharged. What is the final charge on each sphere if $\mathrm{C}$ is touched to $\mathrm{B},$ removed, and then touched to A?
