If you bring a positively charged insulating rod near two uncharged metallic spheres that are in contact and then separate the spheres without removing the rod, the sphere on the right will have

If you bring a negatively charged insulator near two uncharged metallic spheres that are in contact and then separate the spheres, the sphere on the right will have no net charge. None of these is correct: positive charge, negative charge, either positive or negative charge.

Consider the diagram shown below which shows a sequence of events involving two conducting spheres (both initially neutral) on insulating posts. 1. The two spheres are initially touching so they form a single conductor. 2. A negatively charged rod is brought near (but not touching) the right sphere. 3. While the charged rod is near the right sphere, the left sphere is pulled away so that it is no longer touching the right sphere. 4. The charged rod is then taken away. What is charge state of the spheres? "The left sphere is positive and the right sphere is negative." "The left sphere is neutral and the right sphere is negative." "The left sphere is negative and the right sphere is positive." "The left sphere is positive and the right sphere is neutral." "Both spheres are neutral." "None of the above are correct."
