2 charged spheres A, B are put in contact with a total charge of +12Q. Another charged sphere, C, came into contact with A and B. After electrostatic equilibrium among the three, B is then separated from both A and C resulting to the final charge of Y as−6Q. Assuming A, B, and C are identical in size, determine the original charge of C.
