Four identical metallic objects carry the following charges: +1.10, +6.12, -4.28, and -9.19C. The objects are brought simultaneously into contact, so that each touches the others. Then they are separated. (a) What is the final charge on each object? (b) How many electrons (or protons) make up the final charge on each object?
Given charges on identical metallic objects,
Given that the objects are brought simultaneously into contact, so that each touches the others.
When the objects touches, the charges equalizes.
and when the objects are separated, the remaining charges gets equally distributed.
Let be the final charge on each object.
So,
(a)ANSWER :
==========================
(b) How many electrons (or protons) make up the final charge on each object?
Charge on objects is negative, so electrons make up the final charge
No of electrons * Charge of 1 electron = Total charge on object
ANSWER:
================================
