Two uncharged metal spheres, #1 and #2, are mounted on insulating support rods. A third metal sphere, carrying a positive charge, is then placed near #2. Now a copper wire is momentarily connected between #1 and #2 and then removed. Finally, sphere #3 is removed.
In this final state
a) spheres #1 and #2 are still uncharged.
b) sphere #1 carries negative charge and #2 carries positive charge.
c) spheres #1 and #2 both carry positive charge.
d) spheres #1 and #2 both carry negative charge.
e) sphere #1 carries positive charge and #2 carries negative charge
