Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of -20 µC, sphere B carries a charge of -16 µC, and sphere C carries a charge of +86 µC. Spheres A and B are touched together and then separated. Spheres B and C are then touched and separated. Finally, spheres A and C are touched and separated. Does sphere C has, at the end, an excess or a deficiency of electrons and how many electrons is it? deficiency of 2.5 x 10¹2 electrons O deficiency of 5.0 x 10¹3 electrons O excess of 2.5 x 1012 electrons O excess of 6.0 x 1010 electrons O deficiency of 4.0 x 107 electrons

Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of
-20 µC; sphere B carries a charge of -16 uC; and sphere C carries a charge of +86 µC.
Spheres A and B are touched together and then separated. Spheres B and C are then
touched and separated. Finally, spheres A and C are touched and separated.
Does sphere C has, at the end, an excess or a deficiency of electrons and how many
electrons is it?
O deficiency of 2.5 x 10¹2 electrons
O deficiency of 5.0 x 10¹3 electrons
O excess of 2.5 x 1012 electrons
excess of 6.0 x 10¹0 electrons
O deficiency of 4.0 x 107 electrons
