Question

Here are the net charges on the spheres at the start of the process, before any of the balls were touched together. Sphere A has a net charge of 5Q; sphere B has a net charge of -4Q; and sphere X has a net charge of 9Q. Assuming no charge is transferred to you, what is the total combined charge on the three spheres at the end of the process?

Answer 1

Answer:

total combined charge on the three spheres = 10Q

Explanation:

• Charge on sphere A = qA = 5Q

• charge on sphere B = qB =-4Q

• charge on sphere X = qX = 9Q

• Combine charge on all three spheres = qA + qB + qC

• = 5Q + (-4Q) + 9Q =10Q
