Question
**Problem Statement:**

Four identical metal spheres have charges of \( q_A = -8.00 \, \mu\text{C} \), \( q_B = -2.00 \, \mu\text{C} \), \( q_C = +5.00 \, \mu\text{C} \), and \( q_D = +12.00 \, \mu\text{C} \).

**(a)** Two of the spheres are brought together so they touch, and then they are separated. Which spheres are they, if the final charge on each one is \( +5.00 \, \mu\text{C} \)?

[Dropdown for answer choice]

**(b)** In a similar manner, which three spheres are brought together and then separated, if the final charge on each of the three is \( +3.00 \, \mu\text{C} \)?

[Dropdown for answer choice]

**(c)** The final charge on each of the three separated spheres in part (b) is \( +3.00 \, \mu\text{C} \). How many electrons would have to be added to one of these spheres to make it electrically neutral?

\[ N = \text{Number} \]
