Two identical conducting spheres are cha...

Two identical conducting spheres are charged by induction and then sepatatd by a large distance, sphere-1 has charge +Q and spher-2 has charge -Q. A third sphere is initially uncharged. If sphere-3 is touched to sphere-1 and sepatated and then touched to sphere-2 and separated what is the final charge on each of the three spheres?

Charged Conducting Sphere

Consider three identical metal spheres A, B and C. Spheres A carres charge + 6q carries no charge . Spheres A and B are touchd together and them separated. Sphere C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it . Finally the sphere C is touched to sphere B and separated from it . Find the final chage on the sphere C .

Two identical conducting spheres A and B, carry equal charge. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameters, and the force between them is F. A third identical conducting spheres, C,is uncharged. Sphere C is first touched to A, then to B, and then removed. As a result, the force between A and B would be equal to :

Initially, sphere A has a charge of -50 e and sphere B has a charge of +20e. The sphere are made of conducting material and are identical in size. If the spheres then touch, when is the resulting charge on sphere A?
