Question

tion 21 of 24 Maph Sapling Learning Two spherical conductors are separated by a distance much larger than either of their radii. Sphere A has a radius of 56.5 cm and a net charge of 40.5 nC, while sphere B, which is initially neutral, has a radius of 69.4 cm. The two spheres are then connected by a thin metal wire. What is the charge on Sphere B after equilibrium has been reached? Number 2.23 nC There is a hint available! View the hint by clicking on the bottom divider bar.

Explanation / Answer

Solution,

q1/r1 = q2/r2 and q1 + q2 = -40.5 nC

solving both, (-40.5 - q2)/56.5 = q2/69.4

(-40.5 - q2)/q2 = 0.814

q2 = - 22.33 nC

Magnitude of charge is 22.33 nC.
