For Scenario 3, what is the correct answer and please explain why

Solution

when two charged spheres are connected, the charges on them are equally distributed. Now, for Scecario 3:

A and D touched. so, the charges on A and D will be (-Q+0) / 2 = - Q/2 each.

then D and C touched. Then charges on D and C will be (-Q/2 +Q )/2 = Q/4 each.

Then D and A are touched again. So, the charges on A and D now will be (Q/4 -Q/2)/2 = -Q/8 each.

Then A and B are touched. So, charges on A and B are (-Q/8 +0 )/2 = -Q/16

So, the final charges on A = -Q/16, B = -Q/16, C = Q/4, D = -Q/8

Answer will be QD=-1/8 Q
