In the figure below, what will be the charge distribution of the two initially electrically neutral conducting spheres when Sphere M is moved to the right? Notice the positively charged rod near Sphere L and that conducting Spheres L and M are touching each other before their separation. L M insulating supports Both spheres would be positive. Both spheres would be negative. Both spheres would remain neutral. Sphere L would be negative, and Sphere M would be positive. Sphere L would be positive, and Sphere M would be negative.
