Answer:
q1 = q₂= -3
therefore each sphere has the same charge of -3 untis
Explanation:
The metallic spheres have mobile charge, so when the two spheres come into contact the total charge
Q_total = q₁ + q₂
Q_total = -2 -4
Q_total = -6 units
it is distributed in between the two spheres evenly since the charges of the same sign repel each other.
When the spheres separate each one has
q₁ = -6/2
q1 = q₂= -3
therefore each sphere has the same charge of -3 untis
The person who came up with this conjecture was Albert Einstein
