Metal sphere A has a charge of -2 units and an identical sphere B has a charge of -4 units. If the spheres are brought into contact with each other and then separted the charge on sphere b will be

Sagot :

Answer:

 q1 = q₂=  -3

therefore each sphere has the same charge of -3 untis

Explanation:

The metallic spheres have mobile charge, so when the two spheres come into contact the total charge

           Q_total = q₁ + q₂

           Q_total = -2 -4

   

          Q_total = -6 units

it is distributed in between the two spheres evenly since the charges of the same sign repel each other.

When the spheres separate each one has

            q₁ = -6/2

            q1 = q₂=  -3

therefore each sphere has the same charge of -3 untis
