Two identical metal spheres have charges of q1 and q2. They are brought together

Question

Two identical metal spheres have charges of q1 and q2. They are brought together so they touch, and then they are separated. Note that q1 + q2 ? 0 C. (a) How is the net charge on the two spheres before they touch related to the net charge after they touch? The net charge before they touch is less than the net charge after they touch. The net charge before they touch is greater than the net charge after they touch. The net charge before they touch is the same as the net charge after they touch. (b) After they touch and are separated, is the charge on each sphere the same? Yes, the charge on each sphere is the same. No, because after they touch the charge on one sphere will be q1 + q2 and that on the other sphere will be -(q1 + q2). No, because the charge on each sphere after they touch remains what it was (q1 and q2) before they touch. Four identical metal spheres have charges of qA = -8.0

Explanation / Answer

The net charge before they touch is greater than the net charge after they touch Yes, the charge on each sphere is the same. B and D A, B, and D
