Question

An object A with positive charge 12 μC is brought into contact with a neutral body B. determine the charge of object A and B after contact if object A gains 3 μC. How much electron was transferred?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Charge on the object A = 12 μC

And initially the charge on the object B = o μC

 

Step 2

When, the object A brought into contact with the neutral body B.

Object A gain 3 μC charge, so net charge on the object A = +15 μC

And the charge produce in the object B = -3 μC
