Answer:

The equation which describes conservation of charge is
Q_(initial) - Q_(final ) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of conservation charge states that for an isolated system that sum of initial charges is equal to sum of final charges, that is the total charge is conserved.

let the sum of initial charges =
Q_(initial)

let the sum of the final charges =
Q_(final)


Q_(initial ) = Q_(final)\\\\Q_(initial ) - Q_(final) = 0

Therefore, the equation which describes conservation of charge is
Q_(initial) - Q_(final ) = 0

Answer:


Q_(initial)-Q_(final)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the conservation of charge "Charge can neither be created nor destoryed". This line means the net amount of charges remain conserved, no matter what happens.

Equation will be of the form:

Initial Charge =Final Charge

It can also be written as:

Initial Charge- Final Charge=0

Let Q be the charge:


Q_(initial)-Q_(final)=0

The above equation describes conservation of charge.
