The charges of two identical metal balls are -8q and -12q, respectively. The balls were brought into contact and moved apart. What charge will each of the balls have after that?

Given:
q1 = -8q
q2 = -12q
Q =?
Decision:
According to the law of conservation of charge:
Q = -8q + (- 12q) / 2
Q = -20q / 2
Q = -10q
Answer: -10q charge of each of the balls after contact
