Two insulated...

Question

Two insulated charged copper spheres $A$ and $B$ of identical size have charges $q_{A}$ and $- 3 q_{A}$ respectively. When they are brought in contact with each other and then separated, what are the new charges on them?

Open in App

Solution

Charge on each $= \frac{q_{A} - 3 q_{A}}{2} = - q_{A}$ .
