1. Assume you have three spherical conductors. Conductor A has a total charge of +4Q and B has total charge of -6Q. The two spheres are fixed to the x-axis at a distance of d. The third sphere, C, has a total charge 0 and is free to be moved. You now perform two experiments:
a. Touch sphere C to sphere A and then remove it. You then touch C to B. What is the charge on each sphere at the end of this part?
b. Touch sphere C to sphere B and then remove it. You then touch C to A. What is the charge on each sphere at the end of this part?
c. What is the ratio of the electrostatic force between A and B at the end of experiment 2 compared to experiment 1 (FAB2/FAB1)?
