16. Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of – 4.0 µC; sphere B carries a charge of –12.0 µC; and sphere C carries a charge of +4.0 µC. Spheres A and B are touched together and then separated. Spheres B and C are then touched and separated. Does sphere C end up with an excess or a deficiency of electrons and how many electrons is it?
