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?

Tinkerbell · Answer 1

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
