You have four identical conducting spheres: A, B, C, and D. In each scenario below, sphere A starts with a charge of Q, while B, C, and D start out with no net charge, and then the spheres are touched to each other and separated in the order described. Any spheres not in contact are held very far away. For each scenario, give the final charge of sphere B as a whole number fraction of Q. For example, if you decide that the final charge of sphere B is Q/7, enter \"1\" in the numerator and \"7\" in the denominator. Remember! Before each scenario begins, spheres A, B, C, and D are reset to charges of Q, 0, 0, and 0 again.
Scenario 1: A and B touch and are separated, then A and C touch and are separated, then A and D touch and are separated.
Qb= ____ x Q
Scenario 2: A and B touch and are separated, then B and C touch and are separated, then C and D touch and are separated.
Qb= ____ x Q
Scenario 3: A and D touch and are separated, then D and C touch and are separated, then D and A touch and are separated, then A and B touch and are separated.
Qb= ____ x Q

If two identical conducting spheres are in contact, any excess
charge will be evenly distributed between the two. Three identical
metal spheres are labeled A, B, and C. Initially, A is uncharged, B
has charge 7 nC, and C has charge -1 nC. What is the final charge
on sphere A if C is touched to B, removed, and then touched to A?
Express your answer in nC.
