Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C.Sphere A carries a charge of -2.0 µC; sphere B carries a charge of -6.0 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?
A) deficiency, 6 × 1013
B) excess, 3 × 1013
C) excess, 2 × 1013
D) deficiency, 3 × 1012
E) There is no excess or deficiency of electrons.
