Solution:
Total charge Q=80+40=120 μC.
By using the formula Q1'=Q1[r1r1+r2].
New charge on sphere A is Q'A=Q[rArA+rB]=120[44+6]=48 μC.
Initially it was 80 μC i.e., 32 μC charge flows from A to B.
Also Check:Two spheres A and B of radius 4 cm and 6 cm are given charges of 80 μC and 40 μC respectively. If they are connected by a fine wire, the amount of charge flowing from one to the other is:
