We have three identical metallic spheres `A,B, and C`. `A` is given a charge `Q, and B and C` are uncharged. The following processes of touching of two spheres are carried out in succession. Each process is carried out with sufficient time. ltbgt i. A and B
ii. B and C
iii. C and A
iv. A and B
v. B and C
The final charges on the spheres are.

Options

A. `(11 Q)/(32), (5 Q)/(16),(11 Q)/(32)`
B. `(11Q)/(32),(11 Q)/(32), (5 Q)/(16)`
C. `(8 Q)/(8),(5Q)/(16),(5 Q)/(16)`
D. `(5 Q)/(16), (11 Q)/(32),(11 Q)/(32)`

Answer

d

Explanation

(i) `Q//2, Q//2, 0`
(ii) `Q//2, Q//4, Q//4`
(iii) `3 Q// 8, Q//4, 3Q// 8`
(iv) `5Q// 16,5 Q//16,3Q // 8`
(v) `5 Q//16,11Q// 32, 11Q//32`.
