Three Small Identical Balls Have Charges -3 Times 10^-12 C, 8 Times 10^12 C And 4 Times 10^-12 C Respectively. They Are Brought In Contact And Then Separated. Calculate Charge On Each Ball.

The charge in each ball will be 3 * 10^-12 C

Explanation:

(Assuming the correct charge of the second ball is 8 * 10^-12)

When the balls are brought in contact, all the charges are split evenly among then.

So first we need to find the total charge combined:

(-3 * 10^-12) + (8 * 10^-12) + (4 * 10^-12) = 9 * 10^-12 C

Then, when the balls are separated, each ball will have one third of the total charge, so in the end they will have the same charge:

(9 * 10^-12) / 3 = 3 * 10^-12 C

So the charge in each ball will be 3 * 10^-12 C
