(Equal-sized spheres sharing charge)
Two identical isolated conducting spheres A and B carry charges +3μC and −5μC respectively. The spheres are brought into contact and then separated to their original positions.
(a) Calculate the charge on each sphere after contact.
(b) Determine the algebraic change in charge on sphere A during the process.
(c) Verify numerically that the total charge of the system remains the same before and after contact.
