Three charges in an isolated system have initial charges of +2 C, -3 C and +4 C. After some interaction their final charges become -5 C, +1C and X C respectively. Find X.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the value of \( X \) in the given problem, we will use the principle of conservation of charge. This principle states that the total charge in an isolated system remains constant, meaning the sum of the initial charges must equal the sum of the final charges. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Charges**: - The initial charges are: - Charge 1: \( +2 \, \text{C} \) - Charge 2: \( -3 \, \text{C} \) ...
