alleryStart learning →Identical metal spheres have equal opposite charges. They touch, then separate in isolation. Both?
ABecome neutral
BBecome positive
CKeep opposite charges
DBecome negative
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Become neutral
Their total charge is zero, so identical spheres sharing charge without an external influence become neutral.
