Spheres A and B are touched together and then separated. Sphere C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it. Lastly, sphere C is touched to sphere B and separated from it. (a) What is the ratio of the final charge on sphere C to q? What is the ratio of the final total charge on the three spheres to q (b) before they are allowed to touch each other and (c) after they have touched?

The charges on three identical metal spheres are -11.4 μC, 3.80 μC, and 1.90 μC. The spheres are brought together so they simultaneously touch each other. They are then separated and placed on the x and y axes, as shown in the figure. Treat the spheres as if they were particles. What is the net force ((a) magnitude and (b) direction) exerted on the sphere at the origin? Express the direction as an angle in the range (-180°, 180°) with respect to the positive x-axis direction. 92 91 4.90mm 4.90 mm 93 -- SUPPO (a) Number i Units (b) Number i Units
