Figure D shows two spheres that initially have +4 and +8 positive charge. After an interaction (which could simply be that they touch each other), the yellow sphere has +10 positive charge, and the red sphere has an unknown quantity of charge. Use the law of conservation of charge to find the final charge on the red sphere.

Two identical conduction spheres, one having an initial charge +Q and the other initially uncharged, are brought into contact. (a) What is the new charge on each sphere? (b) While the spheres are in contact, a positively chaged rod is moved close to one sphere, causing a redistribution of hte charges on the two spheres so the charge on hte sphere closest to the rod has a charge-Q. What is the charge to the other sphere?

Two metallic spheres of radii 1 cm and 2 cm are given charges 10^(-2) C and 5 xx 10^(-2) C respectively. If they are connected by a conducting wire, the final charge on the smaller sphere is

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

Assertion : When two charged spheres are connected to each other by a thin conducting wire, charge flow bigger sphere to smaller sphere, if initial charges on them are same. Reason : Electrostatic potential energy will be lost in redistribution of charges.
