Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of +6q. Sphere B carries a charge of -q. Sphere C

carries no net charge. Spheres A and B are touched together and then separated. Sphere C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it. Lastly, sphere C is touched to sphere B and separated from it. (a) What is the ratio of the final charge on sphere C to q? What is the ratio of the final total charge on the three spheres to q (b) before they are allowed to touch each other and (c) after they have touched?

Answer:

Part a)

Final charge on C : q = 1.875

Part b)

Ratio for A = 6 : 1.25

Ratio for B = -1 : 1.875

Ratio for C = 0

Explanation:

When two identical metal sphere are connected together then the charge on them will get equally divided on both after connecting them by conducting wire

So here we have

q_A = + 6q

q_B = -q

q_c = 0

Step 1: We connected A and B and then separate them

so we have

q_A' = q_B' = 2.5q

Step 2: We connected A and C and then separate them

so we have

q_A'' = q_c' = 1.25q

Step 3: We connected B and C and then separate them

so we have

q_c'' = q_b'' = 1.875q

If the element gallium has an atomic number of 31 and an atomic mass of 70, how many neutrons does it have?
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The answer is 39.

Explanation:

The atomic number refers to the number of protons and the atomic mass is the sum of the protons and neutrons. So, you would just do 70 - 31 and that gets you 39.
