The figure shows three identical conducting bubbles A,B, and C floating in a conducting container thatis grounded by a wire. The bubbles initially have the same charge.Bubble A bumps into the container?s ceiling and then intobubble B. Then bubble B bumps into bubbleC, which then drifts to the container?s floor.When bubbleC reaches the floor, a charge of -3e is transferred upwardthrough the wire, from the ground to the container, as indicated.(a) What was the initial charge of each bubble?When (b) bubble A and(c) bubble B reach the floor, what is thecharge transfer through the wire? (d) During thiswhole process, what is the total charge transfer through thewire?

Chapter 21, Concept Question 11 The figure shows three identical conducting bubbles A, B, and C floating in a conducting container that is grounded by a wire. The bubbles initially have the same charge. Bubble A bumps into the container's ceiling and then into bubble B. Then bubble B bumps into bubble C, which then drifts to the container's floor. When bubble C reaches the floor, a charge of -3e is transferred upward through the wire, from the ground to the container, as indicated. (a) What was the initial charge of each bubble? When (b) bubble A and (c) bubble B reach the floor, what is the charge transfer through the wire? (d) During this whole process, what is the total charge transfer through the wire?
