Question

Before Negative Neutral A negative sphere and a neutral sphere are oriented as show above. If the two spheres are then connected by a conducting wire what will be the final charges on the spheres? O The charge on the left sphere will be +2. The charge on the right sphere will be -2. O The charges will not change. The charge on the right sphere will be -4 The left sphere will be neutral and the right sphere will have a charge of -2. O The charge on both spheres will be -2. Submit Answer Tries 0/22

Explanation / Answer

when two spheres are connected through a conducting wire, electrons from negatively charged sphere flow towards the neutral sphere until both spheres have equal charges. Let q be the final charge on each sphere, then according to conservation of charge

(-4) + (0) = q + q

q = -2

The charge on both spheres will be -2.
