Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bringing a positively charged insulator near the two uncharged metallic spheres causes a redistribution of charges. Electrons in the spheres are attracted to the positively charged insulator and move towards it, leaving a net positive charge in the spheres. When the spheres are separated, this charge redistribution remains. The sphere on the right will have a positive charge because it is closer to the positively charged insulator.
