20. How much charge is on sphere B after A and B touch and are separated?

$\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}$

Explanation:

We'll solve this problem by using the concept of electric potential or simply called potential , which is the energy per unit charge, so the potential at any point in an electric field with a test charge $q_{0}$ at that point is:

$V=\frac{U}{q_{0}}$

The potential due to a single point charge q is:

$V=k\frac{q}{r}$

Where is an electric constant, is value of point charge and is the distance from point charge to where potential is measured. Since, the three spheres A, B and C are identical, they have the same radius . Before the sphere A and B touches we have:

$V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ \ r_{A}=r_{B}=r$

When they touches each other the potential is the same, so:

$V_{A}= V_{B} \\ \\ k\frac{q_{A}}{r}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}}$

From the principle of conservation of charge the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant. So:

$q_{A}+q_{B}=q \\ \\ q_{A}=+6q \ and \ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q}$

Therefore:

$(1) \ q_{A}=q_{B} \\ \\ (2) \ q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q \\ \\ (1) \ into \ (2): \\ \\ q_{A}+q_{A}=+4q \therefore 2q_{A}=+4q \therefore \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q}$

So after A and B touch and are separated the charge on sphere B is:

$\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}$

21. How much charge ends up on sphere C?

$\boxed{q_{C}=+1.5q}$

Explanation:

First: A and B touches and are separated, so the charges are:

$q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q$

Second: C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it.

Third: C is to sphere B and separated from it

So we need to calculate the charge that ends up on sphere C at the third step, so we also need to calculate step second. Therefore, from the second step:

Here $q_{A}=+2q$ and C carries no net charge or $q_{C}=0$ . Also, $r_{A}=r_{C}=r$

$V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}$

Applying the same concept as the previous problem when sphere touches we have:

$k\frac{q_{A}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}$

For the principle of conservation of charge:

$q_{A}+q_{C}=+2q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+q$

Finally, from the third step:

Here $q_{B}=+2q \ and \ q_{C}=+q$ . Also, $r_{B}=r_{C}=r$

$V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}$

When sphere touches we have:

$k\frac{q_{B}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{B}=q_{C}$

For the principle of conservation of charge:

$q_{B}+q_{C}=+3q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+1.5q$

So the charge that ends up on sphere C is:

$q_{C}=+1.5q$

22. What is the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other.

+4q

Explanation:

Before they are allowed to touch each other we have that:

$q_{A}=+6q \\ \\ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ q_{C}=0$

Therefore, for the principle of conservation of charge the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant, then this can be expressed as:

$q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+6q -2q +0 \\ \\ \therefore q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+4q$

Lastly, the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other is:

+4q

Electroplating is a way to coat a complex metal object with a very thin (and hence inexpensive) layer of a precious metal, such as silver or gold. in essence the metal object is made the cathode of an electrolytic cell in which the precious metal cations are dissolved in aqueous solution. suppose a current of 480.ma is passed through an electroplating cell with an aqueous solution of agno3 in the cathode compartment for 46.0 seconds. calculate the mass of pure silver deposited on a metal object made into the cathode of the cell. round your answer to 3 significant digits. also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol. ×10μ
