Suppose you have three identical metal spheres, AA, BB, and CC. Initially sphere AA carries a charge qq and the others are uncharged. Sphere AA is brought in contact with sphere BB, and then the two are separated. Spheres CC and BB are then brought in contact and separated. Finally spheres AA and CC are brought in contact and then separated. What is the final charge on the sphere B, in terms of q?

a. 3/8q

b. 1/4q

c. 3/4q

d. q

e. 5/8q

f. 1/3q

g.1/2q

h. 0

Suppose you have three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Initially sphere A carries a charge q and the others are uncharged. Sphere A is brought in contact with sphere B, and then the two are separated. Spheres CC and BB are then brought in contact and separated. Finally spheres AA and CC are brought in contact and then separated. What is the final charge on the sphere B, in terms of q?

a. 3/8q

b. 1/4q

c. 3/4q

d. q

e. 5/8q

f. 1/3q

g.1/2q

h. 0

The correct option is b

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The charge carried by A is q C

The charge carried by B is 0 C

The charge carried by C is 0 C

When A and B are brought close and then separated the charge carried by A and B is mathematically evaluated as

$\frac{ 0 + q}{2} = \frac{q}{2}$

When C and B are brought close and then separated the charge carried by C and B is mathematically evaluated as

$\frac{0 + \frac{q}{2} }{2} = \frac{q}{4}$

When C and A are brought close and then separated the charge carried by C and A is mathematically evaluated as

$\frac{\frac{q}{4} + \frac{q}{2} }{2} = \frac{3q}{8}$

Looking at these calculation we can see that the charge carried by B is

$\frac{q}{4} C$

Answer from: Quest

Is a vector quantity that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. while this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity. if a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. for certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.
