You have three identical metallic spheres, A, B and C, fixed to isolating pedestals. They all start off uncharged. You then charge sphere A to +32.0 uC. You use rubber gloves to move sphere A so that it briefly touches sphere B, and then is separated. Next, sphere A briefly touches sphere C, and again is separated. Finally, sphere A touches sphere B a second time, and is again separated. What will be the final charge of sphere B?

Answer:

Charge on B is 12 uC.

Explanation:

Initial charge on A = 32 uC

Initial charge on B and C = 0

Now A touches to B, so the charge on A and B both is

q = (32 + 0) / 2 = 16 uC

Now A touches to C, so the charge on A and C both is

q' = (16 + 0) / 2 = 8 uC

Now again A touches to B so the charge on B is

q''= (8 + 16) / 2 = 12 uC
