The answer is not: D<C<A<B D<C=A<B A<C<B<D D>A>C>B
Friday, February 3 2017 01:57 PM PS bmission 3 (0/10 points) Four pairs of conducting spheres, all with the same radius, are shown in the figure, along with the net charge placed on them initially. The spheres in each pair are now brought into contact, allowing charge to transfer between them. Rank the pairs of spheres in order of increasing magnitude of the charge transferred. Indicate ties where appropriate. (Use only the symbols

Explanation / Answer

For A :

Charge after contact Q =(-q-5q) / 2 = -3q

So, transferred charge = -2q

For B :

Charge after contact Q =(0+8q) / 2 = 4q

So, transferred charge = 4q

For C:

Charge after contact Q =(q-5q) / 2 = -2q

So, transferred charge = -3q

For D :

Charge after contact Q =(15+13q) / 2 = 14q

So, transferred charge = q

So, answer is D <A<C<B In this we consider magnitude not negative or positive sign
