Total charge on the three spheres after they have touched

Reference no: EM13679781

Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of -10q. Sphere B carries a charge of +7q. Sphere C carries no net charge. Spheres A and B are touched together and then separated. Sphere C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it. Last, sphere C is touched to sphere B and separated from it. For the following questions, express your answers in terms of q.

1) How much charge ends up on sphere C?

2) What is the total charge on the three spheres after they have touched?

3) What is the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other?
