Problem
Two identical small conducting spheres are separated by a large distance. Sphere A carries a charge of +8μC, and sphere B carries a charge of −2μC. The spheres are briefly touched together and then separated again to the original distance. What is the net charge on sphere B after they are separated?
(a) +5μC
(b) 0μC
(c) +3μC
(d) +2μC
