Problem

Three identical conducting spheres A, B and C carry initial charges of +6 μC+6\,\mu\text{C}, −3 μC-3\,\mu\text{C} and +2 μC+2\,\mu\text{C} respectively. Spheres B and C are first connected by a conducting wire and then the wire is removed. Next, sphere A is connected to sphere B and then disconnected. Calculate the final charge on each sphere.
