Example: A conducting sphere X that has an initial charge of +2.0 × 10–8 C and an identical conducting sphere Y that has an initial charge of –3.0 × 10–8 C are touched together. After they are separated, the charge on sphere X is?
Answer: (–5.0 × 10–9 C)
And what I would have done is tried to balance them out by adding them together and dividing by 2, but either way I can't understand how they got an exponent of "-9"
Not a homework problem, I just need to understand what's going on here, and how to come up with solutions to solving this type of problem with charged particles.
