Metal spheres 1 and 2 are touching. Both are initially neutral. A negatively charged plastic rod is brought near Sphere 1, but not touching it as shown in Figure 1. With the plastic rod in place, the spheres are separated. The plastic rod is then removed.
After the plastic rod is removed, the charges on the two metal spheres, Q1 and Q2, are:
(A) Q1 is +, Q2 is -
(B) Q1 is -, Q2 is +
(C) Q1 = Q2 = 0
(D) Q1 is +, Q2 is +
(E) Q1 is -, Q2 is -
