Hi, does anyone know where I can find the proof for charge conservation, or another way to prove this.

The problem states:

Prove that whenever I charge a sphere and touch another uncharged sphere, the charges are distributed between them evenly.

If the spheres are conductors then the charge will be distributed over the pair of spheres in such a way that they end up at the same electrical potential. The charges will be equal if the spheres are the same size.
