The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the final charge on each of the conducting balls A and B after they are connected by a wire, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Charges**: - The charge on ball A is \( +10 \, \mu C \). - The charge on ball B is \( +30 \, \mu C \). 2. **Calculate the Total Charge**: - The total charge \( Q_{total} \) is the sum of the charges on both balls: \[ Q_{total} = Q_A + Q_B = 10 \, \mu C + 30 \, \mu C = 40 \, \mu C \] 3. **Understand Charge Distribution**: - When two identical conducting balls are connected by a wire, the charges redistribute equally because they are identical and the system will reach electrostatic equilibrium. 4. **Calculate the Final Charge on Each Ball**: - Since the total charge is equally distributed between the two balls, the final charge \( Q_{final} \) on each ball is: \[ Q_{final} = \frac{Q_{total}}{2} = \frac{40 \, \mu C}{2} = 20 \, \mu C \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The final charge on each ball A and B after they are connected by the wire is \( +20 \, \mu C \). ### Final Answer: The final charge on each of the balls A and B will be \( +20 \, \mu C \). ---
