12. A positive charge of 10−6 coulomb is placed on an insulated solid conducting sphere. Which of the following is true?
(A) The charge resides uniformly throughout the sphere.
(B) The electric field in the region surrounding the sphere increases with increasing distance from the sphere.
(C) An insulated metal object acquires a net positive charge when brought near to, but not in contact with, the sphere.
(D) When a second conducting sphere is connected by a conducting wire to the first sphere, charge is transferred until the electric potentials of the two spheres are equal.
