Physics

Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere Acarries a charge of +3q. Sphere B carries a charge of-q. Sphere C carries no net charge. Spheres A and B aretouched together and then separated. Sphere C is then touched tosphere A and separated from it. Lastly, sphere C is touched tosphere B and separated from it. (a) What is theratio of the final charge on sphere C to q? What is theratio of the final total charge on the three spheres to q(b) before they are allowed to touch each otherand (c) after they have touched?
